Affordable Housing Making Waves in Little River District

Little River District, a groundbreaking mixed-use development aimed at providing affordable and workforce housing. This transformative project, which comes with a whopping price tag of $3 billion, will bring approximately 5,700 housing units to the area, including 2,284 affordable housing units and 1,398 workforce rental units. This initiative will be the largest affordable housing development in the county’s history, addressing the pressing need for stable housing options for residents.

Ensuring Long-Term Housing Stability

Part of the excitement around Little River District is the promise that residents of existing public housing in the area will have the right to return to new units without any rent increases.
