The Historic Oaks of Allen Parkway Village and Allen
Parkway Village are in need of the following improvements:
- Replacement of equipment to five
playgrounds to make them ADA accessible
- Re-configuration of the exit gate at
Crosby Street to an entrance/exit gate
- Replacement of the call boxes
(intercom system) located in the buildings restricted to seniors
- Installation of surveillance cameras
at the entry points of the senior buildings
The Historic Oaks of Allen Parkway Village
and Allen Parkway Village were respectively constructed/rehabilitated 15 years
ago and the above listed improvements will provide a much needed upgrade. Also,
the City is re-configuring Allen Parkway and as a result, the Crosby Street
exit must be re-configured as the entrance/exit to the housing complex.
In exchange for the CDBG funding, Houston Housing
Authority will restrict 51% of the units for five years, on behalf of the City
of Houston.
