Antioch Bridge Housing
at Executive Inn
Indigo worked with the City of Antioch, CA to convert the Executive Inn Motel into 45 units of transitional housing for unhoused residents. This project aligns this fast-growing Delta community with an increasing number of cities nationwide that are experimenting with new approaches to ending homelessness. The “housing first” model posits that housing is a human right and that it is impossible for people to make moves in their lives — such as getting steady work, mental health treatment and addiction treatment, when they are living on the streets. As Antioch Homeless Advocate Nicole Gardner puts it, “There’s only one answer — it’s to put a roof over somebody. As long as they are living in chaos and crisis, you will never be able to help them.”
