BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) —A vacant motel on Union Avenue is getting a major transformation, and city leaders say veterans will be among those who benefit the most.
He says the stable housing and support services provided by CAP-K have changed his life.
“This project is a permanent supportive housing project in partnership with the city of Bakersfield and CAP-K will be the developer for construction but also the operator,” said Chief business development officer for CAP-K Pritika Ram.
The project will transform the Ramkabir Motel on Union Avenue into the Ramkabir Permanent Supportive Housing Project, a new facility featuring 30 permanent supportive housing units.
Half of those units will be reserved for veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.
