| Update On Affordable Housing Projects Coming To Near Northside |  | |
Council Member Cisneros met with Housing and Community Development Director Bynam and learned new information about affordable projects underway in the Near Northside.
· There are updates in regard to the development plan for the three tracts of land that made up the former Yellow Cab. The City of Houston who invested in the acquisition of two of the three tracts with the Houston Land Bank is unable to invest additional funds due to funding constraints. However, the Houston Land Bank, is exploring joint ventures with governmental entities, nonprofits, and for-profit entities to ensure the acquisition of the site and development plans proceed with the intention of addressing community needs. Learn more about the Houston Land Bank’s work here.
· The Hardy Yards site is also being re-negotiated. There is a hard completion deadline of August 2024 that the Texas Government Land Office (GLO) has in place, in order to be eligible for funding. Because the current developer has expressed concern about being able to meet that deadline, the project is in now in the process of being re-bid. This time, development will be broken up into smaller parcels, and awarded to multiple builders/developers. Another change is that the focus will be on patio-style homes, not townhomes. Learn more about the process here.
