AIA San Fernando Valley IDP Design Competition
|
The AIA San Fernando Valley got some strong feedback about the timing of the IDP Design Competition. Many didn't want to spend the holidays on this competition. They spoke- we heard. So we are revising the dates and hope that you can redistribute the info as appropriate.
The competition involves the design of the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission. Recently, this mission was lost due to fire. A new site has been selected and the AIA San Fernando Valley has worked with the staff of the mission to provide the programmatic requirements. While Survival Outreach Services has served as an emergency stopgap, the loss of the production, donation, residential facilities and half of the vehicles fleet has caused a significant loss of support of the mission's work with the homeless. This new facility will be enlarged enabling the mission to reduce the homeless population by offering self-sufficiency, life skills classes and training to the homeless.
