Our latest development has a leasing preference for Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard-of-Heearing households. We have learned so much and still learning how to effectively navigate this new community. But I want to share the DCC’s story and just how long it took to get here.

On a related note, we boosted a Facebook ad to grab the last handful of residents and the comments from ALL OVER THE COUNTRY were staggering. Our development is the 5th in the nation, and the feedback on the post and this story here amplify the need nationwide.
And for celebration sake, the team leased the last available unit yesterday and will move in the final household before the holidays. Certificate of occupancy to 100% occupied in 3.5 months!

In addition to affordable housing, the facility provides event and classroom space, support services and a budding entrepreneurial program for the deaf community.

We are starting our pre-leasing for PAH! Hiland Plaza on Monday. Some of you in this group will recall, this is the community we developed with the Deaf community and will have a leasing preference for Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard-of-Hearing. Chad, who you'll see in the video is our first DeafBlind hire. He's brand new to the industry - started in November. But he is catching on so quickly, despite all the eleventy-billion rules and regs that accompany LIHTC, HOME, and project-based vouchers. He and his manager (a hearing individual) worked on the script and he made sure that it was properly translated to ASL. And then he coordinated to have the video professionally created. I'm just over the moon about this community and so excited that we are finally to this stage. Lots of heavy lifting to come, but it's worth every bit of it! Show more
