As California’s housing crisis intensifies, Cabrillo College and UC Santa Cruz are delivering a breakthrough model for intersegmental housing: fast, affordable and designed for an equitable, shared experience on a community college campus.
This session unpacks how the team leveraged a mix of state funds and tax-exempt bonds, cross-institutional leadership, and integrated project delivery to cultivate a 24/7 residential community where none exists today.
Panelists will share practical insights into uniting stakeholders, embracing a broad demographic of working, caregiving and first-generation college students, designing wrap-around support services, and a real-time design/constructability review process to accelerate schedules.
Attendees will leave with proven strategies for financing, a robust programming toolkit, and replicable model for making well-designed and equitable housing a reality on more campuses nationwide.
