WBRC, March 9, 2023, City Of Birmingham, Partners Unveil New Affordable Housing In Woodlawn
The City of Birmingham is living up to its promise to provide affordable homes throughout city. The first of three newly constructed homes in Woodlawn were unveiled at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday morning.
City leaders teamed up with GROWTH by NCRC and Woodlawn United to bring the homes to Woodlawn—three of them are already for sale.
“It’s phenomenal! We are so excited to be bringing a new home here to Woodlawn. This has been years in the making of really engaging with community to understand what are the wants, the needs, but then really thinking about how we bring public-private partnerships together to make things like this happen,” said Director of Community Development for the City of Birmingham, Dr. Meghan Venable-Thomas.
The project is part of a larger commitment to build 200 affordable homes around the city, with the first homes built in the Woodlawn and Oak Hill neighborhoods.
