Highlights
Legacy of Vine City is the first senior community in the Vine City neighborhood of Atlanta. It is located in a Special Public Interest District to which AHA has given high priority for investment. The development consists of one four-story, mid-rise elevator building with 105 units that include 96 one-bedroom units (91%) and 9 two-bedroom units (9%). It is a senior LIHTC housing development for individuals 55 years and older earning up to 50% (21 of the units) and 60% (84 of the units) of area median income (“AMI”).
Units include refrigerators, ovens with ranges, air conditioner units, garbage disposals, dishwashers, and walk-in closets. The Property includes a lobby, community room, fitness center, television room, computer center, laundry facility, and on-site management.
Impact
The Higher Ground Empowerment Center (the “Church”) in Atlanta, Georgia, led by Pastor Dexter L. Johnson, is a Member of the General Partner and has played an active role in the development of the Property. The Church, formerly known as Mount Gilead Missionary Baptist Church, is a historic presence in Vine City, having served the community for over 100 years since 1903. The Church is located one block away from the Project and intends to maintain a long-term ownership interest in the Property. In the future it would like to encourage the development of an adjacent community center.
