Public Housing Portfolio

By the Numbers

NEF's Public Housing Group has produced nearly $220 million of equity to help build more than 3,600 units in communities lacking adequate public housing options across the country. Here are just a few examples of the work we are doing.

 

Asset Management

The Village at Matterhorn Apartments

The project, consisting of 96 rental units, is the fourth phase of an eleven phase re-development effort and will be built using a $20 million HOPE VI grant. The final development will include 269 units of which 165 will be affordable rental, and an additional 378 units will be constructed on numerous off site locations in the Duluth (MN) area.

Asset Management

Charleston Replacement I

This Charleston (WV) development, consisting of 44 rental units, is the first phase of a 5-phase redevelopment effort being undertaken by the Charleston Kanawha Housing Authority, Scott Canel and Associates, and Housing Innovations Corporation and is being built without the
benefit of a HOPE VI Grant. The completion of phase IV
will create 381 new affordable rental units.

Asset Management

Park Boulevard

Park Boulevard is a multi-phase master-planned revitalization effort that is replacing the blighted Stateway Gardens public housing project in Chicago (IL). Nearly 900 units are being built on the site, with additional units built on adjacent land. When complete, more than 1,300 new homes will have been built. Learn more about this project.

 

 

Featured Project: Near North

Near North Apartments


This five-story, 96-unit building in Chicago takes a fresh approach to SRO development with a remarkable design by noted architect Helmut Jahn.

Near North features many “green” elements rarely found in affordable housing developments, including aeroturbines, solar thermal collectors, a grey water system and recycled rainwater. Sponsor Mercy Lakefront, provides on-site supportive services that help formerly homeless residents reclaim their independence.
