Wood framing is starting to rise above the concrete podium of a new supportive housing complex next to the headquarters of the Downtown Women's Center.
Rosa's Place, located on the former site of a parking lot at 501 E. 5th Street, is being developed in partnership with Daylight Community Development and GTM Holdings. The finished product will consist of a seven-story building containing 97 units of permanent supportive housing, one market rate manager's apartment, and on-site offices for service providers.
