Community Housing Partners: The Warwick

Background

The Warwick is an historic, four-story brick façade structure originally constructed in 1883. Fire destroyed most of the original structure in 1960. The first renovation, an adaptive re-use, was performed in 1995. CHP transformed the remaining structure into permanent supportive housing units for formerly homeless individuals. The Warwick single-room occupancy (SRO) facility contains 88 units. Shared spaces include the lobby, offices for staff, group therapy space, two community resident lounges, computer lab, and laundry facilities.

The Warwick has been continuously occupied by 88 formerly homeless individuals since 1995 and was sorely in need of renovation and energy efficiency upgrades. Prior to renovation, the facility had an aged gas boiler; standard electric water heaters; no fresh air system for common areas or individual efficiency units; appliances/refrigerators were not ENERGY STAR^® rated; and the windows and walls leaked both air and water. High utility bills were problematic for the owner due to the rental subsidy restrictions which limited operating funds.
