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:

The application deadline was November 17, 2009.  Notification of HUD awards is pending.
