Lake Mann HOPE VI
Overview |
| The Orlando Housing Authority (OHA)
has applied to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for
HOPE VI Revitalization Grant program funds for the demolition and
redevelopment of the Lake Mann Homes public housing site. The OHA requested
$22 million in HOPE VI funds for redevelopment of the 26
± acre site.
The new revitalized Lake Mann site will contain a variety of lower
density family housing types including duplexes, triplexes and bungalows
designed to blend into the surrounding community. A senior apartment
building and community building will be located at the eastern portion of
the site on Goldwyn Avenue. The site will feature 245 total units of new
housing as detailed in the chart below:
