Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin cut the ribbon on new homes in Ensley funded by the American Rescue Plan.
Rosemary Thomas looks out the window of her new home in Ensley. Rosemary Thomas got a giant symbolic key to her new home from Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin this morning.
The homes are the first to be built as part of a $25 million development deal between the City of Birmingham and the NCRC Housing Rehab Fund, also known as GROWTH. In January 2022, Birmingham City Council voted to allocate $540,000 of American Rescue Plan funding to preserve affordability and offset rising construction costs resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. Homes that would typically range $200,000-240,000 are being offered for sale from as low as $179,000.
“Mayor Woodfin and the City of Birmingham are not just leading the way here, but also nationally in demonstrating what a commitment to affordable homeownership and reversing redlining looks like,” said Ed Gorman, Managing Director, the NCRC Housing Rehab Fund. “Our mission, and the mission of the banks who invested with us, is to preserve or create pathways to building generational wealth while uplifting neighborhoods that have been historically under-resourced.
