Ivy Senior Apartments

Care for the Elderly: San Diego neighborhood welcomes a housing solution

“This is what solves homelessness. Housing solves homelessness. Permanent supportive housing ends chronic homelessness.”

Ivy Senior Apartments is a new three-story affordable housing with 52 living units designated for low-income seniors who have experienced homelessness. Amenities include a laundry room, office space, multi-purpose room, teaching kitchen, nurse’s station, rooftop deck, and a central courtyard. The facility features wide hallways to accommodate two wheelchairs to pass through simultaneously.

DCI designed the steel brace frame plan, the wood stud and shear wall framing system, and bioretention wall.
