511 N. Akard

These shots of our citywalk @akard building were taken recently by friends from the Corporation for Supportive Housing.

We are about 1/3 complete on the asbestos removal and the demolition. By early 2009, 200 units of affordable housing will be open to the public for lease. Fifty of these will be set aside for the homeless.

A friend is pictured below selling copies of Streetzine, a publication designed and marketed by the homeless.

I hope this gentleman finds a place of his own in our building.
