Opportunity Homes

• The project that began in 2009 will result in 300 single-family homes being renovated for affordable sale to new homeowners, 300 abandoned, blighted properties being demolished, and 300 foreclosures avoided.
• Opportunity Homes was started to combat the foreclosure crisis hitting many Cleveland neighborhoods.
• It is a partnership among Enterprise Community Partners, Neighborhood Progress, Inc., the City of Cleveland, the State of Ohio, and the CDCs in each of the six neighborhoods.
• As of July, 2011, 178 units have been rehabilitated and brought back on line as rental or for-sale housing, 147 dilapidated buildings have been demolished and 65 families received assistance to avoid foreclosure.

St. Luke's

• The project will be certified as meeting the Enterprise Green Communities Criteria and pursue LEED Silver certification upon completion. 
• The redevelopment of the hospital is a vital component of Neighborhood Progress Inc.'s overall Strategic Investment Initiative plan for the Buckeye neighborhood.
• Saint Luke’s has considerable strengths as an affordable senior residential community, including visibility, a generous amount of green space, and close proximity to services and public transit. It also benefits from proximity to both completed (school, library) and planned nearby investments.
• The site is very prominent and its rehabilitation will transform this neglected building into a neighborhood landmark.
• Enterprise Community Loan Fund provided developers Neighborhood Progress Inc. and Pennrose Properties a $3.2 million loan and Enterprise Community Investment syndicated nearly $11 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and Federal Historic Tax Credit equity.

South Pointe Commons

• A unique feature of this building is Maha’s Café, a 2,000 sq. ft. restaurant located on the ground floor providing employment opportunities for the building’s residents and other disabled persons.  
• South Pointe also features a large community room with a kitchen, 24-hour staffed front desk, offices, computer lab, outdoor patio and fully equipped exercise room. On-site services are provided by Mental Health Services and Veterans Affairs.
• This project has been developed through the Enterprise-led Housing First Initiative, which seeks to end chronic homelessness in Cuyahoga County by creating 1,000 units of permanent supportive housing for adults with histories of long-term homelessness and disabilities.
