Revitalization Efforts through Housing
| WHAT: |
For Lynee Butler,
Tasmin Grant and Angela Nichols their new homes in the Parramore
neighborhood fulfill a life-long dream--to own their own
home.
Preserving the Parramore neighborhood and promoting new home
ownership is a top priority of the Pathways for Parramore
initiative. In order to achieve this goal, the City’s Housing
and Community Development Department offers a variety of
programs to increase and preserve homeownership in the
neighborhood through financial assistance, alternative design
standards, reduced fees and homebuyer counseling.
To help other Orlando residents buy homes in Parramore, the City
has established a Parramore Heritage Homebuyers Club. The
Homebuyers Club is a comprehensive program of education and peer
support to prepare potential buyers for fulfilling the dream of
homeownership.
In addition, three major housing developments – Parramore
Village, Carver Park and Callahan Square—are increasing the
housing inventory by more than 300 units. |
