Milejo Village

Jamboree Housing

This mid-rise affordable housing development was a successful collaboration of public, private and community partnerships to provide housing and supportive services for the formerly homeless,

while adhering to budgetary and timetable constraints. Danielian Associates designed the 1.65-acre lot with 64 apartments, consisting of one, two and three-bedroom units, a resident lounge, a computer room, a community center and outdoor area with playground/tot lot. One project challenge arose when utilities could not be tied in per plans due to unforeseen conditions. Our team implemented a small stormwater pump versus redesigning the entrance to the site and using a traditional stormwater treatment BMP. Fuscoe proposed to city staff an alternative non-standard underground alignment for the water irrigation and fire services through a process deviation request. This solution maintained the same layout and location of affected services.
