During PY 2024–2025, revitalization efforts continued, focusing on new mixed-income housing between
12th and 18th Streets. The plan includes 155 rental units and 22 single-family homes, providing both
rental and homeownership opportunities. Of the rental units, 79 include project-based assistance for
former Ridley residents, 48 serve households below 60% of Area Median Income (AMI), and 28 are
market-rate. Phase III-R construction was completed in January 2025, with lease-up beginning in March;
nearly all units are now occupied. Phase IV-R is underway, with the first townhomes completed and
families moving in. Site improvements, including landscaping and sidewalks, are also progressing.
The final phase, CNI-V, is scheduled to close at the end of September 2025, with construction beginning
in October 2025 on a 16–18-month timeline. This phase will consist of 73 units—25 replacement units,
17 affordable tax credit units at 80% AMI, and 31 market-rate units. This comprehensive effort blends
affordability with market-rate housing, supporting long-term community stability and housing choice.

The Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NNRHA) plays a central role in providing
safe, decent, and affordable housing throughout the City of Newport News, maintaining a strong
collaborative relationship with the City. In May 2019, NNRHA and the City were awarded a $30 million
grant through HUD’s Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) program, along with an additional $5 million
supplemental grant to support hard costs for the final phase of the CNI project. Combined with local
funding, this investment has transformed the Marshall-Ridley area in the Southeast Community,
introducing new housing options, community services, recreational facilities, and parks.
As outlined in the CNI Transformation Plan, Ridley Place is being redeveloped in multiple phases,
including affordable housing replacement units onsite and at two nearby locations, as well as additional
units provided through tenant-based or project-based vouchers. To date, four of the five planned
developments—Lift and Rise I and II and Legacy Landing III and IV—have been completed, totaling 236
new units.
