Maple Heights
Two
applications for funding were submitted in early 2006, to the NYS Office of
Temporary and Disability Assistance(OTDA) through the Homeless Housing and
Assistance Program (HHAP) and to the Department of Housing and Community Renewal
(DHCR). Both sources of funding were awarded and construction is well under way
and expected completion is in 2009.
Housing
Visions purchased an aging, vacant apartment complex named Cherry Hill located
off East Genesee Street, a main thoroughfare into the City of Syracuse. The old
buildings, built in the 1970’s had become a haven for drug use and vandalism.
Maple Heights is replacing Cherry Hill by demolishing the old buildings and
constructing 12 new townhouse-like buildings along a new through street which
will conform to the City’s public street guidelines. There will be a management
office on site as well as a tenant community space.
This project will continue the revitalization efforts in the city’s eastside. The houses are being built to blend into the surrounding neighborhood and will provide 50 units of quality affordable housing to low income households. Emphasis is being placed on larger unit sizes, and up to 12 one and two units will be reserved for qualified homeless veterans.
