Future of Sunnyhills
The Sunnyhills Neighborhood Association is hosting a virtual presentation and discussion about the future of Sunnyhills Apartments and other HUD-subsidized housing on Saturday, May 7, at 8:30 a.m.
The owner of Sunnyhills Apartments has threatened to opt out of its HUD Section 8 contract in February 2023. Although current Sunnyhills tenants are protected by enhanced vouchers, after they leave, the 149 HUD-subsidized apartments in the complex could revert to market rate.
Bridgett Simmons from the National Housing Law Project and Sunnyhills community members will discuss what ‘s happening and what options might be available at the event, co-sponsored by SV@Home as part of Affordable Housing Month.
RSVP to info@sunnyhillsneighborhood.org by Friday, May 6, for the Zoom link.
