Form 990, Part III, Line 4d : Other Program Services Description
OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: 1414 Congress - 57 units - This property is owned and operated by Houston Area Community Development Corporation (HACDC). In 2002, HACDC became an affiliate of New Hope Housing, when the original board of directors passed governance to NHHI. The building is a moderate rehabilitation and modification of the Powell Hotel, which was established in 1925. The original renovation of the Congress property was completed in 1997 and received the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance Good Brick Award.At the end of October 2007, this property was temporarily closed for an intensive renovation and reopened in October 2010 to house the chronically and literally homeless with disabilities. The original rehabilitation of the property - performed before NHHI assumed governance - was undercapitalized, and the contractor declared bankruptcy shortly after the original renovation was completed. Thus, the structure required substantial renovation and structural upgrades. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Brays Crossing - 149 unitsThe City of Houston approached New Hope to develop Brays Crossing - what was once the dilapidated HouTex Inn. In late 2007, FDI-Houston SRO, Ltd. purchased property located at 6311 Gulf Freeway, I-45 at the Griggs Road exit. NHH at Brays Crossing, LLC is the general partner of FDI-Houston SRO, Ltd. New Hope Housing, Inc. is the developer of the Brays Crossing project. Designed by Glassman Shoemake Maldonado Architects, the property contains 149 units of efficiency apartment housing for individuals with low incomes. It also serves as a foundation for a large public art display that is integral to the building design. This site was financed with a combination of Housing Tax Credits, allocated by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, and funds from the City of Houston, as well as private charitable contributors, including the Houston Endowment Inc., The Meadows Foundation, and the United Way of Greater Houston. The property opened in February of 2010, and has achieved 100% qualified occupancy. Brays Crossing has received numerous awards including: 2011 ULI Award for Excellence - North and South America; 2011 ULI-Houston Development of Distinction Award; two national Builder's Choice Design & Planning Awards issued by the National Association of Homebuilders; two Houston Business Journal Landmark Awards; an AIA-Houston Design Award; and, the 2010 Mayor's Proud Partner Award. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: 2424 Sakowitz - 166 units Sakowitz is the first LEED certified affordable housing in the State of Texas, and it is also Houston's first 'green' multifamily housing development. The fact that Sakowitz is 'supportive' housing and that it has achieved platinum certification - the highest level - makes this recognition even more significant. It was designed by Canal Street Apartment's award-winning architect Val Glitsch, FAIA, LEED AP and constructed by Camden Builders, Inc. at a cost of ~$67,000 per unit.Situated in Greater Fifth Ward/Denver Harbor, Sakowitz has 166 newly constructed units and is New Hope's largest property to date. Sakowitz opened in 2010, and has achieved 100% qualified occupancy. This site was financed with a combination of Housing Tax Credits, allocated by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, and funds from the City of Houston, as well as private charitable contributors, including the Houston Endowment Inc., The Brown Foundation, The Fondren Foundation and other foundations and corporations. Sakowitz has also received several distinguished awards. The National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) honored Sakowitz with an Award of Excellence. In the NAHRO affordable housing division, Sakowitz was one of four properties recognized nationally for its innovation. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) named New Hope Housing the 2011 LEED for Homes Outstanding Affordable Developer, honoring the development of 2424 Sakowitz. Additionally, Sakowitz won a 2011 Houston Business Journal Landmark Award. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: 4415 Perry - 160 unitsNew Hope opened 4415 Perry, in late October 2012. As New Hope's third tax credit development, Perry is financed through a public/private partnership that leverages tax credit investments with funds from the City of Houston as well as private charitable donors, including the Houston Endowment Inc., Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, The Brown Foundation, JPMorgan Chase Foundation, and other foundations and corporations. The Perry project is a 160-unit SRO apartment complex located south of the University of Houston on the north line of Perry Street between Foster and Eastwood Streets. Designed by award-winning architect Val Glitsch, FAIA, LEED AP and constructed by Camden Builders, Inc., this property is New Hope's second LEED certified, energy efficient, 'green' building. Perry just received LEED platinum certification - the highest level issued by the U.S. Green Building Council. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Rittenhouse - 160 unitsNew Hope's strategic goal is to help meet the Houston need for high-quality, supportive SRO housing through a continuous development cycle. To that end, the organization broke ground on its seventh SRO community - Rittenhouse, in early November 2012. This project received a tax credit award that brings ~$9.5M to the development; and that award is leveraged with a $1.6M financial commitment from the City of Houston. Funding from non-governmental entities has further helped leverage the Rittenhouse development. Rittenhouse is a 160-unit SRO apartment complex located in north Houston off I-45 North at the corner of Stuebner Airline and Rittenhouse Road. The Rittenhouse property is designed by Glassman Shoemake Maldonado Architects, who designed New Hope's award-winning Brays Crossing community. Scheduled to open by the end of 2013, Rittenhouse will also be a LEED certified, energy efficient, 'green' building. For New Hope, being 'green' displays a continued commitment to affordability, as New Hope is the lifetime owner of its properties - properties that need sustainable features to endure as community assets.
