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 (NHCDO).
Status
The City of Austin, NHCDO is currently in negotiations with Anderson Community Development Corporation on the most cost effective, efficient manner in which to complete the 100 unit affordable housing development. Prior to concluding negotiations between the City and Anderson CDC, no construction will commence. Negotiations are expected to be concluded within the month of September. Pending the outcome, the City will determine the best possible manner in which to complete the project.
Description
The SCIP II project, bounded by E. 12th and Juniper Streets on the north and south, and Branch and Navasota Streets on the east and west, is currently well underway. The City Council previously approved $4,416,000 to revitalize the area in concert with the Austin Revitalization Authority's focus to provide revitalization and economic development along the East 11th and East 12th Street corridors. The Anderson Community Development Corporation (ACDC), the sponsoring non-profit, anticipates commencing construction on the south side of East 12th Street of townhome units. The units, currently slated as rental, will provide an additional 16 units in the SCIP II project.
