The second floor is comprised of two bed rooms, a full bath, and a laundry room. A wide kitchen island provides a large work surface and allows for casual use as a breakfast bar. The homes use an open plan design, with large glass exposure in the rear to beckon in and form a natural extension of the living area into the private gardens beyond. The homes have been built in a traditional row house style, embracing both traditional and modern sustainable material choices and the very latest in energy efficiency technologies.Īll of the South City Gardens homes encourage greening of the urban environment. This project has been named “South City Gardens” to highlight the key features of these homes: their location south of “the city” and their garden-focused interior spaces. South City Gardensĭiversified Community Services and Innova Services Corporation – two long term Point Breeze enterprises – have developed 10 new energy-efficient townhouses in Point Breeze on formerly vacant City lots. Diversified has also partnered with Innova Services to develop 10 new affordable townhouses in Point Breeze on formerly vacant City lots. TVA has been awarded an allocation of 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits for the preservation of 28 affordable housing units. In 2011, Diversified has taken possession of Tasker Village Apartments (“TVA”), an existing affordable housing facility at 16th and Tasker Streets, and intends to make capital improvements to ensure preservation of affordable housing for years to come. As such, the preservation of the Tasker Village Apartments and development of the South City Gardens townhomes has become a natural extension of our work. The philosophy links programs, services and activities with social reform and advocacy so that individuals, families and the community itself have the right, responsibility and capability to influence the circumstances of their daily lives. Community building promotes a community’s physical, economic and social development – improved housing and safety, increased financial resources for individuals and the community as a whole, as well as strengthening skills and educational attainment of individual residents.Ĭommunity development is the unifying principle that gives the work of Diversified coherence and focus. Diversified employs a community building or community development philosophy to underpin and guide its work, including its management strategies, decision-making processes, and its interaction with the community.
