Sun Rose Apartments: Transforming the Former Hampton Inn & Suites into Permanent Supportive Housing

by | Jul 7, 2023

Placer County and AMI Housing are converting the former Hampton Inn & Suites Roseville to Sun Rose Apartments, a permanent supportive housing project funded by California’s Project Homekey. With 83 units made available for extremely low-income and homeless tenants, along with case management support through Placer County’s homeless resource helpline, 2-1-1, the project will bring much needed stability to these individuals.

Placer County and AMI Housing are proud to announce the conversion of the former Hampton Inn & Suites Roseville on Sunrise Avenue and Douglas Boulevard into Sun Rose Apartments for permanent supportive housing. This project was awarded $23.5 million funding from the State of California’s project Homekey, with a total cost of $29.5 million. The funding will be used to buy hotels, motels and other properties to create long-term supportive housing, with AMI Housing serving as the developer and manager of the Sun Rose Apartments.

It is estimated that the 83 units will be available for leasing to extremely low-income and homeless people by June 2023, with minor rehabilitation of the units, including kitchenettes in each unit, to be completed by December 2023.

Through Placer County’s homeless resource helpline, 2-1-1, residents will be referred to the program and receive personalized case management that helps them remain engaged in employment or vocational activities, as well as mental health, medical and other services they may need.

This project has the potential to make a positive impact on the community by providing permanent housing for individuals who are currently homeless. Federal and State funding have lending and monitoring requirements, which will enable the project to be completed with energy efficiency, accessibility and adaptability features in place. Once approved, renovations and inspections will start with estimated completion and full occupancy by the end of 2023. Research has shown that when people can transition from homelessness into permanent housing, there is an annual cost savings of $31,545 per person due to the reduced demand on emergency rooms, public safety response, and emergency shelters, as well as improved physical and mental health, decreased substance use, and increased employment.
