Built i� 1965, the develop�ent con�ai�s 5 buildings wi�h 2I �o Zb one-bedroom unifs per building. The laxge majori�y of these units �ave a si�i�cant amaunt flf d�fe�ed rnaintenance and are in ne�d of rr�ajor repair. There is also an appraximate 20% vacancy rate c►�rrently at the buildin�s. Central Community Houszng Tz-us�, with the support oi the City af Roseville, proposes to rehabilita�e the existin� property into 103 one and two bedrQOm apartments. The re�abilitation plans will divcrsify the unit type to pravide increased ha�zsing ehoices for low anc3 moderate-ineorne workers, as we�l as some market-rate apartments. .Affordable rents will be taz'geted ta res�dents at 30%, 50% and 60% area tnedian income. CCHT will also make considerable irnprovernenis to the buiiding exteriors, add landscaping and recreafiion areas (incluct.ing a tot lot for chiIdren) and will signi�eantly improve overali curb appeal. These nearly 40-yeaz' vld siz-uct�res are ty,pieal of the 1960-7Ds; often when these older buildings are stressed with vacancy, social iss�es, and years of d�ferred maintenance, �he �ypical reactian is to tear dpwn �;he buildings and start over. CCHT's experience pro�es ti�at a better and more cost e£�'ectiv� salu�ion is tp prese�-ve the buildings through reuse of valuable buiIding materials, which wa�ld otherwise end up in a landfil�, and preserve a resource that has ser�ved the camrnunity for decades.
