Quinnipiac Terrace HOPE VI

New Haven, CT

When the HOPE VI grant was awarded to the Housing Authority of the City of New Haven, there were approximately 154 families remaining in Quinnipiac Terrace/Riverview. Riverview, which was non-contiguous to the main Quinnipiac Terrace site, consisted of 12 dwelling units in three buildings, all of which were vacant and boarded up at the time of application and have since been abated and demolished.

The new Quinnipiac Terrace development consists of 209 new housing units, 164 on-site public housing, and housing choice voucher project-based units, 29 off-site public housing units at the St. Anthony public housing development site, and 16 additional units of single-family homes developed by Elm City Congregations Organized (a local faith-based initiative) on land donated by the Housing Authority of the City of New Haven. The design of the project was hailed for beautifully adapting to Fair Haven as a waterfront community. The complex has new streets, opening to the newly renovated local school and a new park, and is fully integrated into the neighborhood. This is now one of New Haven’s most striking neighborhoods.

The total development cost was approximately $88 million.
