Amphi Housing Resource Center Design Build

The Housing First Resource Center at Amphi is an adaptive reuse of a Fire Station building known as Station Eight. The shelter primarily serves adults, offering a safe environment, connections to housing assistance, and services to help support people experiencing homelessness. This will allow individuals the opportunity to connect with essential support services and provide access to more stable and permanent housing options. The site is currently a low-barrier congregate shelter that has sleeping quarters in the former station bays. The intent of this project is to add a non-congregate area that will include an enclosed, climate-controlled semi-permanent structure that will have water and electricity. The semi-permanent structure needs to meet the needs of shelter capacity allowing for continuation of services currently offered. However, the structure needs to be able to be removed from the site, if needed. The semi-permanent structure will have restrooms, showers, laundry, storage and adjacent to site pet friendly areas and meal preparation facilities. The structure’s facilities will replace leased shower trailers currently on site. Beyond the semi-permanent structure, the site design should meet the requirements of the Planned Area Development (PAD). Although not a federal requirement, the interested contractor should address Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) present on site to meet City of Tucson requirements. The project team can expect a six-to-seven-month timeline for completion, with the semi-permanent structure as the priority.
