Syracuse

Housing Visions has been involved in the dramatic turn around of the Syracuse east side since 1992 when its very first neighborhood revitalization project was completed utilizing Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Housing Visions moved into the north side of the City of Syracuse in 1996 at the request of the City administration. Housing Visions expanded into the south side of the City of Syracuse in 2004. This move was a coordinated effort by the City of Syracuse with three housing agencies.

The Syracuse – neighborhood revitalizations consist of an accumulation of 11 Low Income Housing Tax Credit projects throughout the city of Syracuse. The city is rich in architecture. Housing Visions has obtained and given life back to several large houses including two historic buildings. Soon to be added will be the Eaglewood East project which will include homes reserved for homeless veterans with supportive services through the Syracuse VA Medical Center.
