In May 2016, we reported on the groundbreaking of the Lowell Neighborhood Projects in Fresno—two new construction and renovation projects producing 30 new, high-quality, affordable housing units. The Lowell Neighborhood in Fresno has long been blighted, attracting rampant crime in the form of prostitution, drugs, and gang violence.  At the groundbreaking, residents, neighbors, and local officials were full of excitement and hope for the new life that the construction projects would bring to the desperate neighborhood. Construction on both projects wrapped up in mid-June and today, the Fresno Housing Authority hosted the grand opening ceremony for the projects now branded Fénix @ Calaveras and Fénix @ Glenn. Where there once stood dilapidated, run-down apartment buildings now stand two beautifully-designed, craftsman-style, high-quality, affordable multifamily housing complexes complete with modern amenities.
