REDI Corporation will construct a 50 one-bedroom unit building on South Federal Boulevard as a non-D3 project serving those experiencing homelessness. Forty-nine of these units will be affordable at 30% of AMI, and one unit will be a unit for an on-site manager. The mission of REDI is “to provide special needs persons with affordable housing facilities and services specifically designed to meet their physical, social and psychological needs and to promote their health, security and happiness.” Rhonda’s Place will allow individuals who use wheelchairs to approach, enter, and use all common spaces. The design will comply with UFAS, 24 C.F.R. 40, ADA Standards (where applicable), and Appendix A to 28 C.F.R. 36. The building will offer an elevator, so all floors are accessible. Three units will be reserved for persons with mobility disabilities and 1 unit will be reserved for persons with hearing or visual disabilities. Fifty percent of the unit tenants will be sourced from OneHome. REDI Corporation is contracting with Blueline Development to complete the buildout. REDI Corporation is requesting $1,500,000 in housing development gap financing ($30,612 per unit of the 49 units) and $825,000 in services gap financing ($1,122 per unit per year for 15 years). The total development cost is $16,057,714 ($321,154 per unit for 50 units). REDI will record a  60-year covenant and a collateralized deed of trust.
