College Park, Uptown transition to affordable housing program begins
The College Park Senior Building is part of what replaced the old LeMoyne Gardens public housing development. On Monday, March 14, 2022 a ceremony on the front lawn of the property marked its conversion in a federal program known as RAD, or Rental Assistance Demonstration. The units have been sold or transferred by Memphis Housing Authority to a partnership between MHA and BGC Advantage, a private developer working in affordable housing. (Bill Dries/The Daily Memphian)
Seven public housing sites across the city have been sold as part of a new plan to renovate and complete deferred maintenance on the units.
