The city of Houston added 90 affordable apartments to its southwest region as part of the Boulevard 61 community.
Mayor John Whitmire and local housing advocates attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the 100-unit complex, which combines affordable housing with 10 market-rate rentals. The city used a $2.5 million contribution from the federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program to fund the project. The new complex provides residents with luxury-style amenities like a fitness center and a swimming pool.
It sits near the Galleria area, providing residents with access to jobs, public transit, and shopping. The complex offers floorplans ranging from 716 square feet to 1,163 square feet. Income restrictions for the units vary based on household size and earnings. For example, 38 units are reserved for households earning less than 30% of the median income in Houston, which is $25,000 for a two-person household.
