First Community Housing’s Casa Feliz Studios provides developmentally-disabled and low-income residents with a healthy, safe, affordable housing option in the heart of downtown. This beautiful 60-unit Single Room Occupancy (SRO) development meets the U.S Green Building Council’s LEED Gold standards and is a state-wide model for special needs housing. By incorporating energy-efficient design, solar panels, a green roof, and low-emissions materials, residents at Casa Feliz Studios see 25 percent energy savings and 36 percent water savings, yet greening the project added only 1 percent to the total development costs.
