Scattered Cooperative Infill Housing Program (SCIP II)
Summary
SCIP II is designed to redevelop an area between East 11th and 12th Streets and Branch and Navasota Streets into a revitalized residential community through the construction of 100 affordable housing units for low and moderate income families. The project is being implemented by the Anderson Community Development Corporation (ACDC) with Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME funds. The project consists of 48 rental and 52 homeownership units and will be managed by the ACDC and monitored by the City of Austin Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Office.
Status
Currently, funding for the both Phase One and Phase Two of the SCIP II project total $4,416,000 provided by the City of Austin for the acquisition of land, a portion of the construction cost, and down payment assistance for 52 lower income homeownership units. Additionally, the State of Texas has committed $500,000 in funds for down payment assistance for 52 of the units that will be homeownership units. To date, eleven (11) single family homeownership units have been completed and sold. Construction of the second panel of approximately 16 units is scheduled to commence March 15, 1998. December, 1999, is the target date for completion of all construction activities within the SCIP II project.
