Groundbreaking of Harrison Village Public Housing Preservation Project The Gainesville Housing Authority is excited to announce the groundbreaking of Harrison Village Phase I, a new affordable rental housing community for families. This preservation project, in partnership with Paces and Soho Preservation Partners, will consist of 120 new apartment homes priced affordably for renters earning under 80% of the area median income. Harrison Village Phase I will replace Harrison Square, an aging public housing community, and provide modern, affordable housing for our residents. Through the support of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, Bellwether Enterprise, BNY Mellon, Freddie Mac, JPMorgan Chase Bank, and Red Stone Equity Partners this project is possible. The multi-phase project will provide quality, energy-efficient, and affordable housing to those in the Gainesville area who have the greatest need. “This partnership will make it possible for the city to replace dated, inferior public housing and provide a modern, affordable alternative that better meets residents’ needs and is a better reflection of the vibrant, growing community of Gainesville,” says Beth Brown, CEO of Gainesville Housing. The apartment configurations will have one to four-bedroom floorplans contained in five, three-story residential buildings. Each apartment will have a fully equipped kitchen, clothes washer and dryer, central heating and air conditioning, ceiling fans and walk-in closets. The property will include a covered pavilion with picnic and barbecue equipment, a community building complete with an activity room and computer center, and an equipped outdoor children’s play area.?
