The Kingsland Park Apartments is a rental property that is exclusively for seniors. The apartment is made of five buildings with a mix of one- and two-bedroom units. This rental property was initially funded with Community Development Block Grant- Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds to construct 198 rental units for seniors. The units are a mix of affordable units and market-rate units. A total of 141 units are affordable, and 57 are market-rate units. The existing property has an affordability period of 20 years. Approximately $4.25 million in ARPA funds will be used for Harris County to acquire and own the land, and the affordability period will be extended to 99 years. This project would convert five of the 57 market-rate units to affordable units for seniors making 65% or less of AMI. This would make 75% of the total units affordable. This project is exclusively targeted to seniors, a group that may be overlooked when addressing affordable housing. Low-income earning seniors with fixed incomes face difficulty when it comes to access to affordable housing. This project seeks to address this issue by exclusively targeting renting seniors for the new affordable units being constructed. The purpose of this project also includes securing affordable units with long-term affordability to ensure that low-income residents have access to affordable housing, even after the pandemic has subsided. Key outcomes and performance indicators include the number of affordable units created for seniors and the number of units provided at each level of the Area Median Income, specifically those below 65% AMI.
