Cleme Manor 5300 Coke Street, Houston, TX 77020 / 284 units
Originally constructed in 1970, Cleme Manor is situated on 12.8 acres east of downtown Houston in the Greater Fifth Ward-Finnegan Park neighborhood. There are 284 residential units in Cleme Manor’s 24-building garden-style community. The surrounding neighborhood is in the midst of a comprehensive City of Houston redevelopment with over $35 million in streetscape improvements, multifamily housing construction, and single-family rehabilitations. Cleme Manor is part of the City’s Tier 1 redevelopment zone, an area which has received targeted city investments. At the time of its acquisition, Cleme Manor had not undergone a comprehensive rehabilitation in over 20
years, and many of the building elements needed to be replaced or rehabbed. A substantial and comprehensive rehabilitation of the property was required. Construction included demolition down to the studs, disposal of asbestos-containing materials, replacement of all windows, doors, existing interior wiring, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, countertops, fixtures, sinks, toilets, 75% of all tubs, re-piping all waterlines, repair and replacement of sewer vent and sanitary piping, replacement of the property’s existing HVAC system with new equipment meeting modern energy efficiency standards, and a complete renovation of the property’s office, laundry and community service areas. The redeveloped property includes ample space for resident services and new landscaping and exterior recreation areas for children and adults. On-site resident services are provided by NHPF’s resident services subsidiary, Operation Pathways. The fulltime Resident Services Coordinator and part-time Food Enrichment Coordinator oversee activities for residents including: · A partnership with the Ligons Movement, a local non-profit, providing meals to children afterschool Monday–Friday · Holiday celebrations
· Senior population events (paint nights, bingo, health & wellness screenings) · Health and wellness screenings with CVS pharmacy and local clinics for residents, both adults and children · Young Audiences weekly meetings for creative engagement for children · Food pantry and housewares offered onsite for residents · A partnership with Share our Strength including a $165,000 grant to support residents
