This Homekey project encompasses three separate sites lining the desert Sierra Highway in Lancaster. Adjacent to Kadre’s recently acclaimed project The Sierra, these buildings will aid in expanding a thriving community of social resilience alongside an otherwise dilapidated stretch of a crime plagued road. By its time of completion, the three sites will provide a total of 60 new units of permanent supportive housing to the Lancaster community, each encompassing its own unique outdoor community area, specifically designed for its residents to enjoy and take refuge in. On the environmental front, this three-in-one project will abandon fossil fuels and be a prototype of sustainable environmental design featuring all electric services.
