HOUSTON, TX – The NHP Foundation (NHPF), a national not-for-profit provider of affordable housing, announced that it has begun construction of a new $45 million affordable housing development that will make 149 affordable rental apartments for those experiencing homelessness in Houston. The new apartments at 3300 Caroline will be known as RoseMary s Place. The new apartments are scheduled to open in May 2024.
The groundbreaking comes after NHPF finalized the lease of land from Magnificat House Inc. (MHI) in January. NHPF is developing the property to house some of Houston s most vulnerable homeless people. The project is supported by Hurricane Harvey recovery funds provided by the City of Houston and Harris County. Full funding includes: $18.7 million from the City of Houston Housing and Community Development Department; $10.2 million from Harris County Community Services Department; $13.6 million from the sale of tax credits to Hudson Housing; $2.4 million from Magnificat Houses Inc. (MHI) as a sponsor loan.
Local elected officials hailed the groundbreaking as a much-needed development to address Houston s homelessness.
The construction of RoseMary s Place will help alleviate the growing issue of homelessness in Houston by providing homes and services with integrity, said Carolyn Evans-Shabazz, Council Member District D, City of Houston.
The four-tale building will include two floors of efficiency apartments and offices for MHI – a 55-year-ancient nonprofit that is partnering with NHPF to provide permanent supportive housing (PSH) services to residents. PSH ensures that residents are supported beyond shelter alone, including programs designed to build skills and connect people with community-based healthcare, treatment and employment services.
Every Harris County resident deserves a place to call home and to be treated honestly– not only as a matter of housing stability and security, but as a matter of dignity, said Rodney Ellis, Harris County Commissioner, Precinct One. Over 3,000 people experience homelessness on a given night in Harris County. Not to mention, low-income households that earn less than $20,000 a year are on the brink of experiencing homelessness. I m glad that Rosemary s Place will help address the fantastic need of affordable housing in our region. Rosemary s Place represents just one of the many county investments in affordable and supportive housing that s plotted for the future.
With RoseMary’s Place, NHPF hopes to help end chronic homelessness in Houston, said Neal Drobenare, senior vice president of acquisitions for NHPF and lead developer of RoseMary’s Place. The stable housing and services provided will give residents opportunities to live pleased and productive lives.
The property, located on one city block at Caroline and Stuart streets in Midtown, also will house property management and two offices for resident service providers, three multipurpose rooms, a warming kitchen, two separate gathering areas, and a 24-hour staffed entry desk.
The Magnificat community is overjoyed to welcome RoseMary s Place, and its 149 residents, onto our campus and into our hearts, said MHI Executive Director Victor Hay. We appreciate NHPF for its foresight in recognizing community support as key to healing homelessness—and for naming their building after our founder, Rose Mary Badami.
The groundbreaking comes at a critical time when Houstonians can expect to see 3,223 people experiencing homelessness at any given moment. More than half of that population is a result of economic crisis, according to Houston s Coalition for the Homeless 2022 Homeless Count & Survey.
