NHPF Transaction News

Taking Up a New Hobby at Any Age

New Port Antonio Apartments, Port Antonio, Roxbury, MA NHPF acquired Port Antonio, a historic Section 8 property located in the Warren Street neighborhood of Roxbury, MA. This acquisition marks one of the largest transactions in NHPF's history. New Port Antonio Apartments is comprised of 227 urban residential apartment homes spread across thirteen different locations and seventeen building footprints within a half-mile radius. Constructed between 1899 and 1930, these buildings add significant historic value to the community.

Operation Pathways , NHPF’s Resident Services Subsidiary, takes pride in its resident-centered programs and services, dedicated to improving and uplifting the lives of all who live there. Ms. Tam Nguyen, residing at our Winter Hill Apartments, is a notable example of why we do what we do. Tam, an 82-year-old Vietnamese woman, was nervous about joining the yoga class that RSC, Dong Bui, was starting and even rejected her neighbor’s offer to accompany her. Tam knew the language barrier would affect her experience, but after encouragement from her neighbor, Tam decided it was worth a try. After her first class, Tam loved the experience and now attends often, speaking very highly of the whole experience, “I love the class, I’m not afraid anymore, I just watch the movements of the instructor and I follow. There were times when I made a wrong move and my instructor just smiled and used sign language to correct me.” Tam now raves about how the yoga routine has her doing stretches she would not normally attempt, emphasizing its effectiveness as a great exercise for her.

Where Tam Nguyen lives matters.

Speakers at the event included the President of West River SHIP, as well as New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker; New Haven Board of Alders President Tyisha Walker-Myers; State Representative Patricia Dillon; Suzanne Piacentini, CT Field Office Director, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and Dr. Karen DuBois-Walton, President, Elm City Communities/Housing Authority of the City of New Haven. Dr. Karen DuBois-Walton summed up the development this way: “As a moving to work public housing authority, we administer federal funding made possible though HUD. Most of this funding goes to providing tenant based subsidies that allow families to lease in the private market. But annually we set aside a portion of that funding to use in connection with development projects like this one. The addition of our funding allows units to be more deeply affordable reaching an income bracket that desperately needs more quality housing options.” Seabrook Square, East Austin, TX NHPF broke ground in January on Seabrook Square, 204 new rental apartment homes available to households earning at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI) in East Austin, TX. This significant event marks a crucial step towards addressing the region's housing needs and fostering economic diversity within the community. In collaboration with AHFC and local developer Capital A Housing, NHPF closed on $74.5 million in construction financing for Seabrook Square. This project signifies NHPF's inaugural venture into Austin, showcasing a commitment to partnering with local organizations to deliver much-needed affordable housing. Rasmus-Temenos, Houston, TX Temenos Community Development Corporation (CDC) in partnership with NHPF announced the opening of Rasmus- Temenos, a property with 95 Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) apartments. The construction of Rasmus-Temenos is a testament to the collaborative efforts of government entities, nonprofit organizations, and private sector partners dedicated to addressing the pressing issue of homelessness in this community.

At the Ribbon-cutting Ceremony, Mayor Pro-Tem Martha Castex-Tatum said:

“Saving this housing that will provide specialized services in order to increase the wellness of the population was achieved by all the entities here today. Through innovative funding mechanisms and unwavering commitment, this project ensures that vulnerable individuals have access to safe and supportive housing.” The property includes an entire floor that is dedicated to at-risk youth. Plus, 80 of the units replace those lost to The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to make way for highway improvements. Funding for this transformative project includes significant contributions from the Houston Housing Authority, City of Houston Housing and Community Development, with $12.5 million allocated, and $11 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for Disaster Recovery from Harris County.

With the Right Assistance, Anytime is the Right Time to Start a Business Mark Twain famously said, “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” Clearly Eric Dillard (above left) who, at age 75, founded the climate change non-profit, New Frontier, agrees with that sentiment. Eric, a resident of NHPF affordable property, The LaSalle at Lincoln Heights for the past six years, contacted LaSalle RSC Brantly Grier to work on setting up his business. Together with Brantly, the two began the process of securing a tax ID, trademark, and articles of incorporation. As soon as the process is complete, Eric will be moving his business into an office space.

The Heart and Soul of Volunteering

At two NHPF properties, Mark Twain in Chicago and St. Luke’s Plaza in St. Louis, two women found purpose and fulfillment in the embrace of volunteerism. Angela Williams and Winona Butler, residents of these two communities respectively, embarked on a journey of service which not only enriched their own lives but also transformed the fabric of their communities. Operation Pathways, the onsite service provider subsidiary of NHPF, provides residents the tools, resources, and coaching they need to achieve housing stability and meet their academic, financial, and wellness goals. Angela, a cheerful and dedicated member of Mark Twain, first dipped her toe into volunteering by assisting with various activities and events organized by the RSC at Mark Twain.

Attracting Donor Dollars During the Season of Giving NHPF's Rebecca Ely on How Philanthropy Helps Make Affordable Housing Life-changing In this season of giving, the importance of philanthropy cannot be overstated. Many donors put as much energy into choosing the perfect gift for loved ones, as deciding where to invest their philanthropic dollars. Philanthropy can have a transformative role in creating a just and more equitable community. Philanthropy, for example, plays a transformative role in the realm of affordable housing and supportive services. The scarcity of affordable housing is a pressing issue that affects communities worldwide, contributing to homelessness, inequality, and the erosion of social cohesion. Philanthropists who champion affordable housing initiatives are not just addressing a basic human need. They are laying the foundation for vibrant, inclusive communities. Affordable housing philanthropy addresses the interconnected nature of social issues. Stable housing is a cornerstone for improved health, education, and economic opportunities. When individuals have a secure place to call home, they are better positioned to access healthcare, pursue education, and contribute meaningfully to the workforce. In this way, philanthropy aimed at affordable housing becomes a catalyst for comprehensive community development. Affordable housing communities that provide onsite resident services ensure residents are stably housed. Once stably housed, residents can pursue goals such as improving their health, pursuing further education for themselves and their children, and expanding their economic opportunities.

NHPF Announces Re-Opening of Alexander House 95 Service-Enriched Apartments in Hagerstown, MD

NHPF rededicated the Alexander House, a low-income senior apartment community, in Hagerstown, MD. The ribbon- cutting featured Hagerstown Mayor Takesha Martinez in celebration of the $30M historic rehabilitation.

NHPF renovated the entire building including replacing all the windows and damaged doors, cabinets, appliances, and bathtubs. NHPF historically renovated Alexander House’s exterior by cleaning all the masonry and repairing any damage. NHPF improved the building’s access by converting six units into UFAS compliant apartments, two units into hearing and visually impaired apartments, and reconfigured the laundry room, common areas, and entrances so they are ADA compliant. The organization also upgraded the retail space and welcomed two new tenants: Menysa Events (specializes in luxe balloon design and event design décor) and Create a Candle (provides patrons a unique and relaxing experience creating custom candles). NHPF also signed a long-term lease with Authentic Community Theater, Inc. (ACT) for the former television space in the back of the Alexander House building. ACT provides performing arts education to students in grades 1–12 as well as a variety of entertainment options for the community. According to Robbie Soto, Director, ACT, “This partnership ensures that our a community-based non-profit has room to grow in downtown Hagerstown, promoting the revitalization of the Arts & Entertainment district in conjunction with their performance venue, the ACT Black Box Studio.” NHPF dramatically improved Alexander House’s energy performance with new energy-efficient, split-system heating and cooling, ducted bathroom exhaust, and fresh air supplies. NHPF replaced all lights with energy efficient lighting, appliances with Energy Star appliances, and plumbing fixtures with water sense faucets. The renovation was awarded the Enterprise Green Communities Certification for its sustainable upgrades.

Alexander House was built in 1928 as a hotel in the Renaissance Revival style. It was renovated in 1978 to accommodate 95 units for low-income disabled residents and senior residents aged 62 and over. The 10-story building also includes over 20,000 square feet of commercial and community space.

Housing Market with Three Deals in the Mountain Resort Region Ground-up Construction Aims to Build Nearly 350+ units of Much-needed Affordable Housing NHPF is expanding its footprint west with development deals in the works in three different mountain resort area towns which present unique opportunities and challenges. The Mountain Resort region of Colorado is home to some of the nation’s top ski and recreational areas, notably Vail and Aspen, yet is notoriously short on housing inventory, particularly workforce housing affordable to the thousands of employees who make up a labor pool including police personnel, teachers, restaurant staffers, and childcare workers. In an area where close to 50% of all housing is vacation homes, what is available to rent to those on fixed incomes is priced out of reach for most. At the same time, the high altitude and prolonged freezing temperatures present construction cost and labor challenges. Add to the equation the scarcity of available land to build and the current anti-density zoning, and the area finds itself in desperate need of quality housing of all kinds, according to Neal Drobenare, Sr. VP at NHPF and lead developer for the Colorado properties, who added that NHPF is up to the task, having made a name for itself in undertaking and completing difficult housing challenges . challenges.
