Housing

The Housing plan capitalizes on the area’s abundant assets and offers fresh approaches to remedying persistent challenges. The plan responds to four key opportunities in Stop Six:

• An opportunity to establish a major anchor in the community that serves as a catalyst and focal point of new investment
• Redevelopment of the former Cavile Place public housing site
• Enhancement and activation of East Rosedale Street
• Presence of vacant and under-utilized land that can be developed for housing, parks, open space and other elements to knit together the community

The plan calls for construction of mixed-use, mixed-income development in six phases over eight years and anticipates that the public housing investment will attract private developers to the community. Low-Income Housing Tax Credits will be sought to help finance development.

The phases include senior housing, low-income replacement units, permanent supportive housing units and tax credit units as well as market-rate units.

The first phase of the Stop Six Choice Neighborhood Initiative, Cowan Place Senior Living, a community of 174 one- and two-bedroom units at East Rosedale and Stalcup Road, had its grand opening in November 2023.
