appliances. The project consists of 112 units total, of which 79 are public housing. The diverse development will be able to utilize state and federal historic tax credits, low-income-housing tax credits, solar tax credits, community-block grant funding, and publichousing development money. The $35 million project is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2011. In addition, SLHA recently completed its own central office space with several green products and principles. The 37,000-square-foot site is home to a café and bank. Energy-saving appliances, a reflective roof, low-VOC paints, and waterless fixtures help keep costs down. SLHA’s green efforts are all encompassing—the group is even returning to several existing developments to add solar panels and rainwater harvesting. “Sustainability creates longer-lasting communities that are better for our residents, while helping us save money by lowering operational costs,” Lovell says. Sustainability fits perfectly with St. Louis Housing Authority’s goal of “creating neighborhoods where people can rebuild, restart, or resume their lives.” With 16,000 Section 8 residents and 5,600 in public housing, SLHA is proving that low-income developments can still be high in quality and performance. abq
