This property was once certified as  a public nuisance property with armed responses every night.  Before that it was an extended stay residence for NASA.

Joy Horak-Brown, Executive Director and her assistant Nicole toured us through this facility as well as Canal Street.  We were then treated at Ninfa's for Mexican food

These are the typical rooms.

These are the community Amenities.

We were also taken to Canal Street which has been open for 5 years and I must tell you, it is a well maintained facility and I can say I had my doubts as to the sustainability of the product after a few years but hats off to New Hope Housing, they are doing a fine job and this is a community I would not be ashamed to live in.
