The Enclave at Lake Pointe Grand Opening
On February 8, 2023 a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held for Enclave at Lake Pointe, a brand new affordable senior apartment community for persons 55 + located in Houston, Texas.
Enclave at Lake Pointe has been a joint partnership with Magellan Housing, Royal American Development, and the Harris County Community Service Department (HCCSD) to replace affordable apartment homes that were lost during Hurricane Harvey. During Hurricane Harvey, nearly 100,000 homes were flooded or damaged, leaving residents, including seniors, without secure and affordable homes. Using Hurricane Harvey disaster recovery funds HCCSD contributed $15,095,025 toward the cost of this development through Hurricane Harvey Community Development Block Grant Program -Disaster Relief (CDBG-DR) funding.
The new apartment community provides 132 one- and two-bedroom residences for low-income seniors 55 years or older who earn between 30% and 60% of the Area median Income (AMI). Apartment features include fully equipped energy efficient kitchens, granite countertops, pantry, washer and dryer connections, walk-in closets, walk-in shower, and balconies. Community amenities include a central amenity center with a library, community room, coffee bar, computer center, fitness center, pool, and dog park. The residents can also enjoy daily activities provided by the on-site management staff.
This project is a shining example of the effectiveness of a public-private partnership facilitating a development and addressing the needs of affordable housing. Many local organizations, financial institutions, and government leaders played a role in the successful completion of the project including Harris County, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, RBC Community Investments, and Citibank Community Capital.
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our on-site teams who are working every day with a smile on their face and a lease in their hand. We appreciate your dedication to making this community great!
Congratulations Iffy, Anisha and Darrin! I’ll see y’all soon.
