This first phase will deliver 130 of the replacement 216 deeply affordable state public housing units and another 38 net-new affordable homes available to families earning at our below 80% area median income (AMI). When combined with the later phases this redevelopment has permitted a total of 591 units of affordable and market rate housing. The second phase which represents 92 apartment homes is slated to begin construction in early 2026. The third phase (331 apartments) will follow there-after.
