BACKGROUND:
On May 5, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners approved the CDBG CIP project list including an allocation of $400,000 for the Accessible Space, Inc Hastings House, a rehabilitative facility for people with traumatic brain injuries. The pandemic has caused supply system issues leading to increased construction costs. Thus, the project needs an additional $118,000 to meet current market pricing for materials and labor. HUD does not require a Substantial Amendment to move this amount of money.
This capital improvement project will involve a remodel to Hastings House, an eight unit accessible, affordable group home owned and operated by Accessible Space, Inc. (ASI). Hastings House is located at 3253 Hastings Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89107, built on a 0.51 acre site. Improvements will include:
- Construct an extension to the main house which would add two accessible bedrooms and one accessible bathroom;
- Refurbish the laundry room to be accessible;
- Construct a new wall for resident privacy to replace a half wall in one bedroom;
- Refurbish the main kitchen to eliminate the built-in refrigerator as well as update the cabinetry and countertops;
- Demolish the second kitchen, substantially remodel and create a large dining room;
- Replace rear double door;
- Update the three bathrooms to become accessible, roll-in showers, grab bars
- Update the front façade of the house and repaint
