The NHP Foundation Opens Doors to $30 Million Curtis Cofield II Estates Affordable Housing Community in New Haven Market
NEW HAVEN, CT – The NHP Foundation (NHPF), a national mission-aligned developer of quality affordable housing, celebrated the opening of Curtis Cofield II Estates, a $30 million new construction project bringing 56 energy-efficient rental homes to New Haven’s West River neighborhood.
Built on vacant city-owned land, Curtis Cofield II Estates marks NHPF’s first development in New Haven and is the result of a dynamic partnership with West River Self-Help Investment Plan (West River SHIP). The project aligns with the city’s Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy by combining housing, amenities, and services to foster community well-being.
“This development reflects what’s possible when public and private partners unite around a shared vision for housing equity,” said Eric Price, President & CEO of NHPF. “Curtis Cofield II Estates represents a new model for affordability, sustainability, and community investment and we look forward to doing more work in New Haven.”
Named in honor of local housing advocate and distinguished religious leader, Curtis Cofield II, the 56 new homes serve a broad mix of residents—44 units are affordable to households earning up to 60% of the area median income (AMI), including 12 supportive housing units; 12 are also reserved for “Missing Middle” (affordable to middle income) residents at 100% AMI. The property includes 11 townhouse-style buildings, 62 surface parking spaces, EV chargers, and future retail space for a minority- or woman-owned café/bakery. A 2,700 sq. ft. community center, playground, and gazebo complete the site.
“Where homes once stood, homes now stand again, and a community that was previously torn apart by highway construction is once again reconnected. West River SHIP, working in collaboration with the city and many other partners, has created something extraordinary: a community where working class residents can find affordable bousing, formerly homeless residents can find stability, and neighbors with disabilities can enjoy full accessibility – a place where everyone can flourish together in a truly inclusive environment,” said Mayor Justin Elicker.
The all-electric community meets Zero Energy Ready Home and Passive House standards, with anticipated energy savings of 50–90%. Solar paneling and CT Energy Rebates further strengthen environmental performance.
“This is what our state investment is meant to do—produce high-quality, sustainable housing like the Curtis Cofield II Estates,” said Seila Mosquera-Bruno, Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Housing. “Under the current administration, we have been dedicated to this mission, and the 7,000 units now under construction reflect a real commitment to affordability and opportunity.”
Operation Pathways, NHPF’s resident services subsidiary, will coordinate on-site programming for all residents. Columbus House will provide supportive services for 12 formerly homeless individuals and families.
“Curtis Cofield II Estates is a direct result of years of community vision and unwavering commitment,” said Micah Hunter, NHPF’s lead developer on the deal. “From financing to design to services, we and our partners at West River SHIP aimed for a model that’s beautiful, equitable, inclusive, and built to last.”
Lisa Maass, Connecticut President at Citizens, added, “Our investment and support for transformative projects like Curtis Cofield is a powerful reflection of Citizens’ commitment to driving economic opportunity, sustainability, and stronger communities.”
“This community honors the legacy of Dr. Cofield as well as being in close proximity to some of the City’s foremost health and wellness centers, the Peace Garden and places of innovation and technology,” said Karen DuBois-Walton, President & CEO of The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, “And our hope for this property and its residents is that they experience well-being, peace, and a great quality of life.”

Our team is proud to be part of Sarasota’s growth, and we look forward to welcoming even more residents in the months ahead.”
Located off Interstate 75 and Fruitville Road, the upscale community offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes in four-story buildings with elevator access. The apartment homes feature elegant quartz countertops, hardwood-style flooring, stainless steel appliances, patio and balcony options, private yard options, detached garages and a full-size washer and dryer.

Luxury living continues throughout the community, including a fully equipped fitness center with 24-hour access, resort-style swimming pool, outdoor entertainment and community grilling areas, dog run and pet spa, 24-hour social hub and work-from-home focus suites.
The Concord also features a skydeck overlooking the Celery Fields to the south, and includes an open-air area with firepit, shade structure and soft seating. The indoor amenity space has a chef’s kitchen available for residents to host parties and happy hours.
The community is on the southern outskirts of Lakewood Ranch, the nation’s second-fastest-growing master-planned community. Residents can enjoy being adjacent to a Publix Super Market, along with convenient access to downtown Sarasota and a variety of high-end retail and dining options.
At the ribbon cutting, visitors were able to tour the model, explore the professionally decorated clubhouse and community amenities. As part of Thompson Thrift’s ongoing commitment to community engagement, they presented a check to local non-profit Big Cat Habitat to aid their efforts in educating guests on the importance of species preservation and provide sanctuary to exotic and domestic animals in need.
Linc Housing Celebrates Milestone of 100 Affordable Housing Communities in California with Construction of The Corners at Belmont
BELMONT, CA – Nonprofit Linc Housing announced the start of construction of The Corners at Belmont, a new 37-home affordable and supportive development for families and individuals earning 30-80% of the area median income, including people who have experienced homelessness. The Corners at Belmont marks Linc Housing’s 100th community in California since its founding in 1984.
“The Corners at Belmont is a meaningful milestone for Linc – it’s our 100th community and part of more than 10,000 homes we’ve created across California,” said Rebecca Clark, CEO, Linc Housing. “Each development is a step toward our vision of a state where everyone has a safe, stable, and affordable place to live. We’re grateful to partner with the City of Belmont and County of San Mateo to bring new opportunities and lasting housing solutions to the heart of this community.”
Linc Housing will transform two, formerly vacant, city-owned lots in downtown Belmont into much-needed affordable housing for San Mateo County. When complete, The Corners at Belmont will provide 18 one-bedroom, 9 two-bedroom, and 10 three-bedroom apartment homes for low-income households. The 18 one-bedroom apartments will be for individuals who were formerly unhoused, each supported by a Section 8 project-based voucher from the San Mateo County Housing Authority. Onsite amenities will include a community room, outdoor courtyard, community garden, bicycle storage, and convenient access to public transportation, shopping, and services.
“The County is proud to have partnered with Linc Housing and the City of Belmont on The Corners to bring beautiful and dignified homes to dozens of families and individuals,” said San Mateo County Supervisor Noelia Corzo. “It isn’t easy to build housing, let alone affordable housing, in this economic climate. But this is the time when we need it the most.”
Linc was selected as the lead developer following a competitive RFP process and worked closely with the city’s planning and public works teams on the design of the community. The community, consisting of two five-story buildings, integrates sustainable and efficient design elements throughout, such as photovoltaics, dual-paned windows, energy-efficient appliances, lighting, and HVAC systems, and design features that take advantage of natural light and passive cooling. Water usage is maximized inside and out through low-flow fixtures, drought-tolerant landscaping, hardscape designed to aid water infiltration, and special features such as bioswales.
“These new homes will give working families and people who have experienced homelessness the housing stability they need to thrive,” said City of Belmont Mayor Julia Mates. “We donated this city-owned land for a purpose that reflects our shared values and partnered with Linc Housing to build something that truly serves our community – a place where everyone has the chance to live with dignity. This new apartment community reflects our city’s commitment to housing solutions that lift people up and create opportunity.”
Funding for the development comes from a variety of sources, including multiple funding sources within the County of San Mateo (Measure K, ARPA, HOME and CDBG), loans from the City of Belmont and Housing Trust of Silicon Valley, a construction loan from Bank of America, a permanent loan from California Community Reinvestment Corporation, and tax credit equity from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee and investor Bank of America.
The buildings, due to be completed in late summer or early fall 2026, were designed by Torit Gallas & Partners, and the general contractor is Precision General Commercial Contractors. The 18 homes for people transitioning out of homelessness will be referred by Health Plan of San Mateo, while the remaining units will be leased via a lottery process.

This is the second community for CPP in the Fair Haven neighborhood, following the recent completion of nearby Fairbank Apartments.
Located at 1 Brewery Square along the Quinnipiac River, Brewery Square is a two-building, 104-unit apartment community originally constructed in 1896 as a brewery and later converted to housing in the early 1980s.

This acquisition allows us to increase and deepen affordability while also extending the life of a property that is deeply cherished by the community, said John Fraser, Vice President of Development at CPP. We are proud to protect the historic fabric of this neighborhood while delivering modern upgrades that respond directly to resident needs.
The total development investment of approximately $43 million includes extensive renovations estimated at $112,342 per unit. Planned upgrades include all-new stainless-steel appliances, updated bathrooms, quartz countertops, new windows, refinished floors, and the installation of advanced security systems. The site will also feature enhanced landscaping, cobblestone walkways, and the adaptive reuse of the historic gatehouse into a secure indoor bike storage area — an amenity specifically requested by residents. Additionally, the renovations are expected to improve the property s energy performance by more than 15%, enhancing efficiency and reducing utility costs.
“Brewery Square serves as a model for high-quality, architecturally interesting, mixed-income housing, said Sarah Miller, Fair Haven Alder. We look forward to CPP and Beacon building upon and extending this legacy, preserving both affordability and quality for another generation.”

The property offers ample parking with 151 total spaces split between a 107-space front lot and a 44-space rear lot. Occupancy has consistently exceeded 95%, and residents have played a key role in shaping planned improvements, particularly those that preserve the community s historic charm and enhance daily living.
The adaptive reuse of Brewery Square Apartments will modernize and expand affordable housing options In New Haven, while breathing new life into a piece of the City s history, said Dara Kovel, CEO, Beacon Communities. We re honored to bring our exceptional property management to a new community of New Haven residents. Thank you to our partners at Community Preservation Partners, who share our commitment to creating quality housing that will remain affordable for generations to come.
