Location: Undisclosed. Project Status: 2019 (ongoing). This project is a collaboration between Architect Jo Garst & Jordana Maisie, who together, founded Social Studios LLC in 2018. The Studio is focused on working with not-for-profit clients, engaging with social impact projects. Here, we are working with a Northern Californian not-for-profit, to develop a Masterplan for an Affordable Housing Village & 10,000 sqft Community Center. This project will assist the region’s chronically homeless communities with a variety of services. The Community Center will support much needed programs such as extreme weather shelters, daily meal services, drug rehabilitation, job counseling, respite accommodations (with 24 hour nursing care for those recovering from serious medical conditions), as well as short stay / hostel accommodations, a shared kitchen, media room and public bathroom facilities. The Community Center is also equipped with commercial office space for local business
