What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          The public purpose of this project is to provide essential infrastructure that supports Louisiana’s growing population of low-income seniors through the development of an Affordable Senior Housing and Adult Daycare Facility. The project seeks to use state capital outlay funds to construct a permanent, publicly beneficial asset that expands access to affordable housing, promotes independent living, and reduces the long-term social and economic costs associated with institutional care.

This initiative directly aligns with the State of Louisiana’s goals to strengthen community infrastructure, improve quality of life for vulnerable populations, and stimulate local economic development through construction and ongoing service delivery. The facility will be designed to address the pressing shortage of affordable, accessible housing for seniors, while also integrating a licensed Adult Daycare Center to provide daytime supervision, social engagement, and health-related services. Together, these components establish a comprehensive, community-based model that supports aging in place and enhances neighborhood vitality.

The Affordable Senior Housing portion of the project will consist of modern, energy-efficient residential units designed in compliance with ADA accessibility standards. Units will be available to seniors whose income levels fall below 60% of the area median income, ensuring equitable access to quality housing. The development will include safety features such as grab bars, non-slip flooring, emergency alert systems, and accessible common areas. Landscaping, sidewalks, and outdoor seating areas will promote mobility and social interaction while maintaining compliance with state and local building codes.

The Adult Daycare Center will operate within the same facility, providing licensed, structured daytime services for seniors who require supervision or social engagement but do not need full residential care. The center will offer nutritious meals, recreational and cognitive activities, health monitoring, and caregiver respite services. This dual-purpose design maximizes the use of state investment by meeting multiple public needs within one site—housing stability, community safety, and access to essential daily supports.

The multi-use spaces within the complex will serve as community hubs for health workshops, social services coordination, and intergenerational activities in partnership with local agencies, schools, and faith-based organizations. These shared-use areas will also be available for emergency response coordination or public safety use during disasters, furthering the project’s alignment with Louisiana’s capital investment priorities.

Capital outlay funding will be used for land acquisition, site preparation, utility connections, structural construction, and interior build-out to ensure the project’s completion as a long-term public asset. The project will create construction and permanent jobs, support small business participation, and contribute to local tax revenue through secondary economic activity.

The outcomes sought through this investment are measurable and aligned with the state’s public mission:

Expanded access to affordable housing for low-income and fixed-income seniors.

Reduction in public health and institutional care costs through community-based supports.

Job creation during and after construction.

Enhanced quality of life and safety for Louisiana’s senior population.

Strengthened community infrastructure through the creation of a lasting, multipurpose facility serving public needs.

By funding this project through the Capital Outlay Program, the State of Louisiana will ensure that public monies are used to develop tangible, durable improvements to community infrastructure that serve the public good, address critical housing and care gaps, and create long-term social and economic benefits statewide.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          The primary goal of this project is to enhance the quality of life, safety, and independence of Louisiana’s low-income seniors by developing an Affordable Senior Housing and Adult Daycare Facility.
