Building Description
Leading Green Affordable Housing at AACC
Our housing partner is a recognized leader in creating green, affordable housing and like our housing partner other new construction projects, the African American Cultural Center Project will be designed as a LEED Platinum project. In addition to sustainable building strategies such as selecting healthy building materials, incorporating water and energy efficient measures, and providing each household with free Eco Passes, our housing partner will seek out innovative new technologies to showcase in this signature building.
Project Housing
Integrated Health and Housing
We expect to serve families and individuals eligible for permanent supportive housing as well as low-income families and individuals earning below 60% AMI. While a specific unit count has not been determined yet, our housing partner has experience building and managing as few as 35 units of supportive housing to as many as 135 units. Unit mixes for permanent supportive housing and family housing include Studios, 1Br and 2Br. Residents will have easy access to the on-site health clinic as well as supportive services facilities depending on the population.
