  • 77% Complete
  • Scheduled for Completion by End of 2011*

CMHA received $17,687,509 in ARRA Competitive Grant funds to aid in Phase III of the ongoing Heritage View Homes Development 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. Phase III consists of 46 townhouses attached in small clusters and 23 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. All of the units will follow the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines. The site is compact, walkable, and served by public transportation. Units at the new site will be mixed finance units, meaning that there will be a combination of affordable public housing units and market rate units available for lease.

The following "green" features are applicable to all phases of Heritage View Homes Development:

• Energy Star appliances and light fixtures
• High efficiency heat pumps
• Water conserving plumbing fixtures
• Energy Star HERS rating
• Green label seal carpeting
• Low/No VOC paints and sealants
• Landscaping with native and draught resistant materials
• Highly insulated building envelope

• 15 cfm fresh air per occupant

*Completion in these cases refers to being occupied by tenants. There may be other construction issues still needing to be completed at this time such as landscaping, completion of site work, etc.
