diverse mix of high-quality housing options designed to expand housing choice and promote long-term neighborhood stability. The CNI housing plan includes 155 new rental units and 24 single-family homes for homeownership. Of the rental units, 79 units are designated with project-based rental assistance, prioritizing former Ridley Place residents to support continuity and right-to-return goals. An additional 48 units serve households earning below 60 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), while 28 units are market-rate units, supporting a balanced mixed-income community. Legacy Landing construction is now fully completed, and all units have been successfully delivered and occupied except for ongoing lease-up activity within the market-rate component. Of the three remaining market-rate units, all continue to be actively marketed for lease. In total, 46 former Marshall-Ridley residents have exercised their right to return and are now residing in the community. This milestone reflects the successful completion of construction, relocation, and lease-up efforts associated with the broader CNI initiative and demonstrates continued commitment to housing stability for original residents while supporting long-term neighborhood revitalization. In addition, NNRHA is planning to resume the development of additional new single-family homeownership units in a style that is consistent with the historic context of the Southeast community while also increasing the affordability and sustainability of each unit. The new home designs will mirror the character of existing neighborhood homes while incorporating modern interior features, energy-efficient construction methods, and sustainable appliances to support long-term affordability and neighborhood compatibility.
