THE OPPORTUNITY
Some people cannot use a shared shelter. Others are ready to leave shelter but need housing with services attached.
Building both on the Second Light campus turns a shelter into a pathway: the next step toward a permanent home is across the campus, not across town.
THE CHALLENGE
Park Landing layers three funding sources: public housing sale proceeds, Community Development Block Grant funds and HOME-ARP. Each comes with its own compliance requirements.
The City also needed the building delivered within an approved, not-to-exceed budget, with every public dollar accounted for.
WHAT WE DID
Structured the funding. PETRA leads site planning, design coordination, budgeting and scheduling, and organized the development around each funding source and its HUD requirements from the start.
Designed for the next step. 25 private, non-congregate shelter units and 50 permanent supportive housing units share one building, with space on site for case managers and service providers.
Built for the long term. Rooftop solar reduces long-term energy costs. The Law Company is building under federal procurement standards, with goals for local hiring and small, minority- and women-owned business participation.
Carried the discipline forward. The same budget management that delivered Second Light continues here.
THE OUTCOME
75 units are under construction on the Second Light campus, with completion expected in summer 2027.
Across Park Landing and Second Light, PETRA's budget management produced $2M in verified savings against City-approved budgets, which the City is reinvesting in another City project.
WHY IT MATTERS
Shelter, services and permanent housing on one campus, delivered by one development partner across both phases. Park Landing shows that careful stewardship of public funds and care for people in crisis belong together.
