Elrod Place – Positive Development Issues

Single-family homes and elderly units promote more resident stability.

Focus of rentals will be policemen, firemen, school teachers, municipal employees and other working families in the houses and young families of area residents.

With a shortage of safe and clean houses to rent in Harris County, this type of unit mix has much lower turnover than other rental developments.

Single-family units offer more pride of occupancy with yards, more space, neighborhood atmosphere and overall higher quality of lifestyle.

Elderly residents are generally stable and do not like to move. With elderly units, opportunity exists for grandparents to live

near resident and neighborhood families and assist with grandchildren.

Page 8: Elrod Place Understanding the Project and Its Relationship with the Local Community.

Positive Development Issues (continued)

Only three houses per acre which will be less burden on schools as compared to other single-family developments in subdivision which will have as many as over five houses per acre.

Affordable housing helps attract new commercial and industrial businesses to the area, thus helping the tax base.

Harris County has a three mile concentration policy, so without Commissioner Court approval, there may not be any other affordable family developments in the immediate area.

Social services, including after school tutoring and activities, will be available in the social services building.

On-site van will provide transportation. Rents are not subsidized, only restricted, for this development.

Costs are subsidized, allowing for a higher quality development. Residents may have opportunity to buy after 15 years, thus

giving an extra incentive to maintain their residence.
