Lightfighter Village is located on the former Fort Ord and provides much-needed 71 units of housing for county veterans. The design approach for the supportive housing project incorporates the concept of wellness combined with specific design elements that support the wellbeing of the formerly homeless residents. Comfortable living units are designed with ample natural light and individual kitchens and private baths have high-quality durable residential finishes and warm colors. A sense of both dignity and individuality in the design details was essential, including providing unit entry doors symbolic of a sense of arrival, space for on-site supportive services and staff, laundry facilities, a pet wash/care facility, lounges, and other community program space, as well as formal and informal opportunities for social interaction – both inside and out. Several secure outdoor spaces provide play space for children and quiet garden areas for adults to sit and visit, further reinforcing a sense of community, safety, and security.
