The New Hope Affordable Housing development is a planned investment in the Northwest-Progresso-Flagler Heights (NPF) Community Redevelopment Area, bringing high-quality, affordable living options to the Sistrunk Boulevard corridor.

The apartments are planned to include modern finishes and energy-efficient features such as Energy Star appliances, high-efficiency air conditioning and heating systems, LED lighting, ceiling fans, and contemporary kitchen and bathroom fixtures—providing both comfort and long-term cost savings for residents.The development is proposed for a 12,115-square-foot (0.278-acre) site currently utilized as overflow parking for New Hope Church. The project is being led by New Hope Development Corporation, a partnership between NHB Sistrunk Community Development Corporation—a nonprofit affiliated with New Hope Church—and Land America Development Corporation, which will oversee development and construction.

Once delivered, the development will provide much-needed affordable housing opportunities while supporting continued revitalization efforts within the NPF CRA.
