Work progresses on Unity Park Rentals, CHN's largest development
 
It was 22 degrees the December day we broke ground on our largest development to date, the 32 scattered site, single family, lease-to-purchase Unity Park Rentals in Pontiac.  

 

We are making a nearly $9 million investment in the neighborhood and building on properties that were once abandoned or held blighted homes, thus revitalizing the neighborhood.

 

The development will help address the severe need for affordable housing in the area, which was at a tipping point prior to the economic crisis of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

 

Unity Park Rentals will offer two-, three- and four-bedroom homes available for working families earning between 30% and 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Eight of the homes are designated for supportive housing. A community center will also be constructed, housing the leasing office, the supportive services offices, a community room for the maintenance person.

 

Funding for the development comes through a housing tax credit reservation through Michigan State Housing Development Authority. The development includes project-based vouchers and a mixed-income structure.

 

To apply for the supportive housing homes, you must meet one of the four criteria: have a special need, homeless, at risk for homelessness or homeless under other federal statutes.

If you qualify for supportive housing and wish to be on the Unity Park rental interest list, please call the HRC at 248-282-0111.

For those that do not meet supportive housing qualifications, please call www.unityparkrentals.com or call (810) 767-4890.
