With the Pinemont Park & Ride HHA proposal a recent core issue for our neighborhoods, the next Super Neighborhood 12 Council meeting will focus on affordable housing and aging apartments, 6:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, May 27, 2015, at the Candlelight Community Center, 1520 Candlelight Lane (map http://bit.ly/candlelightcntr).
This will be a great meeting to hear from two groups with strong experience regarding affordable housing. Plus, we will have an update on the Houston Housing Authority proposal to build an affordable multifamily housing complex at the corner of Main and Crosstimbers.
Guest Speaker Jason Holoubek from Avenue CDC (a nonprofit specializing in quality affordable housing) will give background on affordable housing, the agencies/groups who provide housing in Houston (HUD, HHA, nonprofits) and why Avenue CDC has found success with their developments. Avenue CDC's work includes Futon Gardens, Washington Courtyard Apartments and Elder Street Artist Lofts (a conversion of the old, formerly decaying Jeff Davis hospital).
Wayne Norden, president of the Near Northwest Management District, will discuss the Management District's work regarding aging apartment complexes in our area.
As always, community leaders will also share updates about issues that matter in their neighborhoods and the city. Join your community leaders for this informative meeting.
