The deal has not yet closed, but the housing authority believes the 194 units will make significant headway toward Mike Johnston’s goal of housing 1,000 unsheltered people by the end of the year.
The city would start leasing the complex through its Department of Housing Stability (HOST) on Sept. 1.
You're not wrong. One of my old workplaces got demolished to make way for mixed demographic housing, but directly above it (the complex was at the bottom of a cliff) was a McMansion subdivision. Now the apartments going up aren't planned to cost less than $3k when all the apartments around it cost less than $1k.
