FOUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS EARN HUD SECRETARY'S HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DESIGN AWARD

From HUD Press Releases:

Four affordable housing developments are the recipient of the HUD Secretary's Housing and Community Design Award for excellence in residential housing design.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the American Institute of Architects selected Greenbridge of White Center, Washington; K Lofts of San Diego, California; Valencia Gardens, of San Francisco, California; and Patrolia Loft of Boston, Massachusetts for redefining affordable housing and its place within the community.

The awards were presented during the 2008 AIA National Convention and Design Exposition in Boston.

"Each of these innovative designs produced homes that are breaking the affordable housing mold," said HUD Deputy Secretary Roy A. Bernardi.

Greenbridge of White Center, Washington is a hundred-acre, mixed-income, "green community" of a thousand low-income...workforce...rental...and for-sale homes.

This new HOPE SIX development replaces a 568-unit World War II-era low-income public housing project and promises to become an engine for change in the surrounding community.

Greenbridge transforms the social failure of mid-20th Century planning into a new mixed-come neighborhood that provides affordable housing at multiple income levels, and replaces a project known for its high-crime rate with a neighborhood built around parks and open spaces.

K Lofts of San Diego is a development that was created through a design process that included residents, community stakeholders, local government, and civic groups.

Valencia Gardens of San Francisco, California is a HUD-funded HOPE SIX development produced a mixed-use, affordable, public housing community located on a five-acre site in San Francisco's Mission District.

Patrolia Loft of Boston, Massachusetts is an interior fit-out of an existing concrete-shell apartment for a resident who requires a wheelchair.
