Houston (Harris County) — Mayor John Whitmire joined The NHP Foundation (NHPF), Trinity East Village Community Development Corporation, Housing Alliance HTX, the City of Houston Housing & Community Development Department, Trinity East United Methodist Church and other civic and community leaders today to celebrate the groundbreaking of Trinity East Village Senior, a new 90-unit affordable housing community for adults age 55 and older in the city’s historic Third Ward.
The development represents a major investment in preserving affordability, preventing displacement and ensuring longtime residents can continue living in the neighborhood they helped build as Third Ward experiences continued growth and reinvestment. Construction officially began following the project’s financial closing earlier this summer, bringing to life a vision many years in the making.
“Affordable housing is both a necessity and a critical issue in our country. The Trinity East Village senior living facility is a statement that Houston’s Third Ward will never be forgotten,” said Houston Mayor John Whitmire. He added that his administration will continue working with public and private partners to ensure that individuals who need affordable housing remain a priority.
Developed by The NHP Foundation in partnership with Trinity East Village CDC and Housing Alliance HTX, Trinity East Village Senior will provide high-quality affordable apartments designed specifically for older adults with limited incomes. Sixty of the community’s 90 apartments will serve as replacement housing for residents of Cuney Homes, which is undergoing redevelopment through the federal Choice Neighborhoods Initiative, helping ensure longtime residents can remain rooted in the community.
According to a news release, the City of Houston has played a critical role in advancing the development through funding and partnership, recognizing the importance of expanding affordable housing opportunities for seniors while supporting the long-term revitalization of Third Ward.
The project fulfills a long-standing vision of Trinity East Village Community Development Corporation and Trinity East United Methodist Church to transform church-owned land into a community asset that protects older adults from displacement while strengthening the surrounding neighborhood.
Residents of Trinity East Village Senior will have access to modern apartments, quality amenities and comprehensive onsite resident services delivered by Operation Pathways, NHPF’s resident services subsidiary, in partnership with Trinity East. These programs are designed to help older adults maintain their independence, improve health and financial stability, and remain active members of the community. The development will serve extremely low- and low-income seniors, with residents expected to have an average household income of approximately 41 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).
Construction will be led by NRP Construction and is expected to be completed in 2027.
