BOSS Step Up Housing Update: Construction in Progress!

We are pleased to report that the Step Up Housing Program is officially underway, as construction for 39 new units of permanent supportive housing has begun, and they will soon be on the way to house Berkeley's homeless!

Team members from project developer, Panoramic Interests, visited the modular factory in Henderson, Nevada earlier this week. Modular construction is faster than traditional construction since they are stackable units.
