Cincinnati and its neighborhoods have been strengthened by the strategic efforts to increase the quality and diversity of housing, reduce crime and blight, and improve the vitality of small neighborhood business districts as well as large employment centers. The City’s overall goal was to develop and support comprehensive efforts to expand choices and opportunities for individuals and families to enjoy decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities. Decent housing is housing which is affordable, safe, and accessible. A suitable living environment is that which is safe, livable, free from blighting influences, and economically integrated. Overall, the City of Cincinnati addressed the 2015 – 2019 Consolidated Plan and 2016 Annual Action Plan goals and objectives for the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons With HIV / AIDS Program (HOPWA). In some cases, goals will require adjustments to account for cuts in funding; however, the City demonstrated measurable progress in nearly all of our 2015 – 2019 Strategic Plan programs and projects. The City completed many projects throughout 2016 in each of the four entitlement grant programs. Several highlights include: 2016 CAPER 1 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Walnut Court. The project at 1020 Chapel Street was a substantial rehabilitation of a 30-unit senior, affordable multifamily housing project, located in the neighborhood of Walnut Hills that completed early 2016. The project has 30 units (21 – 1 bedroom and 9 – 2 bedroom) and currently operates under the HUD Section 8 program with a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract on all units. The HAP contract allows the project to receive much higher rents than those allowed under the HOME program but ensures that residents do not pay more than 30% of their incomes to rent. The project will be renovated utilizing Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and will operate under the restrictions of the LIHTC program as well under age restrictions (62 and older or handicapped households) to qualify as HUD senior housing. The building is currently 97% occupied. The rehabilitation included the following: replacement of major systems, masonry (restoration and refinishing), carpentry, elevator upgrades, new appliances in all units, mechanical, HVAC, electrical, replacement windows, gutters and downspouts, painting, flooring interior doors, etc. The project met the Enterprise Green Community standards. The total cost of the project was $6.2 million with a City provided cash flow loan of $500,000 in HOME funds. Marlowe Court. Marlowe Court is a new construction senior (age 55+) housing project in College Hill with 1,600 of commercial space. The project, which commenced in CY 2016, will be constructed to LEED Silver standards or higher and requesting Community Reinvestment Area tax abatement. This new senior apartments will be a mix of twenty two (22) one bedrooms and thirty one (31) two bedrooms, between 650 and 850 square feet. The building will be 100% visitable and include a minimum of 5% ADA and 2% sensory impairment units. Commercial space will include an on-site clinic, to benefit the immediate health needs of residents, as well as social worker space, to allow residents convenient access to counseling and assistance services. Total project cost is $11 million, of which a cash flow HOME loan in the amount of $530,000 was provided. Other funding source includes Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Marlowe Court project completion is set for early 2018. Morgan Apartments.
