Urbannizer Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 http://houston.novusagenda.com/agendapublic/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=7081&MeetingID=149 Background:The Houston Housing Finance Corporation (HHFC) provides tax-exempt bond financing for developments that provide persons of low and moderate income with quality, affordable housing. New Hope Housing has submitted an application to HHFC for bond financing to construct the 175-unit NHH at Harrisburg development to be located at 3301 Harrisburg Blvd. HHFC Bylaws and federal tax law require that City Council approve bonds issued by the corporation. HHFC is therefore requesting that City Council approve a $15 million bond issue for this project. HHFC bonds are not backed by the full faith and credit of the City of Houston—they are non-recourse to the City. The developer has received support from community leaders and residents for this property. This transit-oriented development is located on the newly constructed extension of Metro's light rail line on Harrisburg Blvd. The bond financing will be leveraged with tax credit equity, sale proceeds from another facility, and charitable contributions. The City of Houston Housing and Community Development Department (HCDD) has committed $5,986,233 in HOME funds and $631,500 in Housing and Homeless bond funds for this development.

Urbannizer Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Sale-to-Astros-means-new-digs-for-New-Hope-Housing-7242069.php New Hope Housing, in turn, will break ground Thursday on a new $25 million mixed-use development at Harrisburg and Sampson that will open in 2017. The Houston architectural firm GSMA will design the New Hope Housing development on Harrisburg, which Horak-Brown said would include retail and commercial space along with efficiency apartments and the nonprofit's offices. Horak-Brown said the average cost of housing at the Hamilton Street location is about $450 per month and includes utilities, cable television and access to social services designed to stabilize the lives of residents who struggle with homelessness and financial stress. Average stay at New Hope Housing units is between 18 months and two years. The Astros have expressed concerns about potential parking issues on the east side of downtown Houston with increased development around the ballpark and a long-term plan by the Texas Department of Transportation to demolish the Pierce Elevated and reroute I-45 to the east side of the city core along with U.S. 59. Horak-Brown said New Hope Housing will break ground on its Harrisburg Boulevard project at 5:30 p.m. Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonIsHome Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Worried about parking? *shakes head* Anyway, does low income housing such as this have any lasting effect on development in the area? Is Clayton homes low income? And if so did it deter development in the immediate vicinity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure wouldn't buy anything near it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised an upscale apartment complex was built nearby. Just look at the reviews online for the marquis lofts just down the street from there. Looks to be lots of problems coming from the adjacent projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Clean19 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 IF, 45 gets re-routed. you will see the demolition of Clayton Homes and Kelly Courts. Two of the worst public housing operations in Houston. For east end residents, that is the only good part of the I-45 Re-route. I hope it doesn't happen. This re-location of homeless facilities into East End and path to prosperity for the west side of town is damn near criminal. For $25 million just build 200 homes out in the boondocks. Star of Hope is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intencity77 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'm just happy they put the parking in the back. The crappy shopping strips and CVS's in the core won't even do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenOlenska Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I'm in my twenties. I'd live there. That looks nice to me.

This building is nice and in keeping with current décor trends in Houston and America. The snobbery I see in criticisms and comments on this forum wreaks of oh so much maligned garbage spewed forth from a somewhat large "neighbor" city up north whose name shall be omitted. I recommend Houstonians NOT to become like that other unnamed place in the way it's residents continually commit to this nasty critical vile way of thinking and commenting on other places. Keep Houston, well... Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
