The Hamot Foundation’s BUILD Community Development Corporation is moving forward with plans to convert the former Erie Schools Administration Building into permanent supportive housing for Erie’s chronically homeless.
The project aims to transform the four-story brick building at 21st and Sassafras Streets into 22 apartments with 12,000 square feet of commercial space and support services. However, financing remains a significant challenge, with a $6 million funding gap still to be addressed.
