Downtown Albuquerque News this yesterday reported about a new supportive housing project that Bernalillo County is planning to build downtown at 6th and Coal. The $8 million project will have 45 units for homeless individuals and families, including veterans. It will be built on the northwest corner of the intersection, where there's currently an empty lot and abandoned home. The county hopes to move the home if they can, but may end up demolishing it and have applied to the city Landmarks and Urban Conservation Commission to do so.

The Albuquerque Journal reports that the Tiny Home Village will be having final inspections and will begin accepting residents at the end of December. The project is located in the International District at Tennessee Street and Zuni Road SE. The Albuquerque Indian Center donated the land and its facility is located directly to the east on the opposite corner of the block.

Below are progress pictures of the project as of last week from a homeless transitional services group on Facebook.

Another upcoming project in this area is Phase II of the Ed Romero Terrace senior apartments, which are just north of the Albuquerque Indian Center and Tiny Homes Village. Phase II will be another 40-unit, 4-story structure, maybe even a twin of the existing apartment building. The new building will most likely be sited on the southern edge of the parking lot that's behind the existing building. Earlier this year the project was awarded a grant of $2.1 million by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to go towards the $4 million total project cost. The project should therefore get underway soon.

KRQE last night had a story about the Luminaria Senior Community apartments that are scheduled to break ground and begin construction next month. The city is contributing $3.2 million in HUD funds for the project. It will have 92 units for people 55 and over. The project will have a Route 66 theme and will restore and reuse the existing historic sign on the property that once was a mobile home and RV park dating to the mid-20th century. It is located on Central Avenue just east of Eubank Boulevard SE.
