Earlier this year, the Birmingham-based nonprofit Navigate Affordable Housing Partners unveiled three new modular homes in the city’s North Titusville neighborhood, part of a larger “Smart Neighborhood” revitalization initiative.
North Titusville sits on the west side of Interstate 65, just a few blocks away from landmarks like Regions Field and Railroad Park. For years, residents have struggled against the effects of urban blight — empty and overgrown lots, abandoned and decaying structures — which drives down property values and dissuades new residents from moving in.
The new houses are part of a larger strategy to stabilize and improve property values. “We’re keeping it tight,” says Navigate’s CEO Lisa McCarroll. “Slow and deliberate progress is progress that will last.” Read on to find out more about this revitalization initiative. |
