A Message from the CEO

In May 2021, Columbia Housing launched Vision 2030, a multi-year $500M development plan to redevelop, renovate, and reposition all public housing units in Columbia Housing's portfolio.

In this Developmental Edition of our newsletter, we want you to check out our progress. We currently have more than $100M in new affordable housing developments underway. By mid-summer of this year, we will welcome 435 families to their new homes.

In addition, we are excited to announce our investment of more than $80M to renovate hundreds of units across our portfolio. We are making tremendous strides and are grateful to our residents for their patience and our partners for their support.

Single Family Homes

Columbia Housing owns over 250 single homes as part of its affordable housing inventory. In the fall of 2023, CH began extensive renovations on the first group of homes. Once work has been completed, the homes will be available to qualified residents for purchase through a lease/purchase program.

Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, roofs, and windows are just some of the improvements being made to the homes before they are offered for sale. Additional improvements may be made depending on the property.

CH CEO Yvonda A. Bean said, "We are thrilled to be able to convert these former public housing units to homes for our residents who have been working hard to get ready to purchase. Homeownership has and always will be one of the best ways for individuals to build wealth and security and CH is excited to be part of that journey".
