CMHA received $12,000,000 in ARRA Formula Grant funds to aid in Phases I and II of the ongoing Heritage View Homes Redevelopment Project. Through this project, CMHA, working with a developer, will demolish the entire existing Garden Valley Estates in five phases, individually relocating each existing resident. Phases I and II consist of one low-rise apartment building containing 40 units, 81 townhouses attached in small clusters and 17 detached single family homes. The project also includes the construction of new streets, ample parking, and related infrastructure improvements. All new construction at Heritage View Homes will be energy efficient, earning Energy Star Certification, using 20%-30% less energy than required by Federal regulations. Construction on Phase I is scheduled is complete. The Grand opening of the new Heritage View Estates was held on November 10, 2010. Phase II is scheduled for completion in 2011. All of the units will follow the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines, ensuring the entire site is visitable to persons with disabilities. Each unit will have its own utilities, meters, and heating and air conditioning systems. The site is compact, walkable, and served by public transportation.
