Norfolk County Mayor Amy Martin with HNHC CEO Matt Bowen after taking the first swing
As previously reported, demolition began Tuesday on two outdated homes on Gibralter Street in Delhi. These older social housing units will be replaced by a new multi-residential building featuring a minimum of 16 units.
The project will provide affordable housing options for residents of all income levels, with Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI), Affordable, and Market rent levels.
“As Mayor, improving housing supply and affordability is a top priority of mine; this regeneration strategy will allow us to expand from 2 to 16 units at this location, providing more affordable options for our community. It’s also a crucial step toward addressing the housing challenges we face and ensuring Norfolk remains a place where everyone can find a home,” said Norfolk County Mayor Amy Martin
Sarah Page, General Manager of Health and Social Services, expressed enthusiasm about the ongoing partnership between HNHC and Norfolk County: “We are excited to watch the beginning stages of regeneration and revitalization in housing across Norfolk County. This has taken strong partnerships with HNHC, municipal support, and all teams coming together to make change happen. This new development in Delhi will display the innovative and inclusive path forward to supporting housing across all income spectrums.”
This development is part of HNHC’s broader plan to modernize housing across Norfolk County, ensuring all residents have access to safe and affordable homes.
