OLD POINT HOMES Opens, Previews Future of
New Communities
Situated on
3.2 acres, the new community is comprised of 27
rental homes with 18 two-bedroom and 9 three-bedroom
homes. The homes consist of five separate
buildings anchored by a community area and green
space. Plans for the next phase of Old
Point Homes include 6 single family homes and a
resident clubhouse.
In Virginia it is only the second community
created using a mixture of replacement housing
funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development and low income tax credits from the
Virginia Housing Development Authority. Mixed
income and mixed funded communities are likely
to become the standard for future HRHA
developments.
The development is a green community and is one
of the first certified by EarthCraft in Hampton.
EarthCraft homes provide a blueprint for
healthy, comfortable homes that reduce utility
bills and protect the environment as well as
meet strict guidelines set by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
Five of the homes embrace the principles of
Universal Design and incorporate the needs of
physically challenged individuals with wider
doors and hallways; easier to operate latches,
switches, and appliances; and user-friendly
bathrooms and kitchens.
Prior to
acquisition by HRHA, the site was a mobile home
park that housed 26 mobile homes and a rental
office. HRHA purchased the property in
2007 and worked to relocate the residents into
safe, decent, and affordable housing.
HRHA currently
manages 549 units of public housing and 153
non-public housing units and has constructed and
sold 55 single family homes throughout the city.
