About The Project
TC Architects recently finished working with Tober Development Company, Community Support Services and the JoAnna House to design eight, new Permanent Supportive Housing Units and a Recovery Center in the City of Akron. This project is being placed in service after it was awarded Low Income Tax Credits by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency. Each of these new, recovery units are 650 square feet and sit on a .688 acre site. This project was designed to utilize modular construction for the housing units, which is unique for this type of housing.
These units are desperately needed within the City to meet the rising needs of supportive housing. The units will help with JoAnna House’s goal of providing a combination of affordable housing and the supportive services designed to help this vulnerable demographic throughout the City.
Each of these units feature a covered entry, kitchen, dining area, living room and separate sleeping area. The design of the units are contextual with the neighborhood. The Recovery Center will include: a conference room, office, salon, mail area, laundry, kitchen, pantry and a large multi-purpose room for community events.
