FORT WORTH – Fort Worth Housing Solutions has begun work on the latest phase of an affordable housing redevelopment project named after a legendary former basketball coach.
Hughes House, on the corner of East Rosedale St. and Amanda Ave., is part of the Stop Six Neighborhood Choice Initiative, focusing on replacing the 300-unit Cavile Place with 1,000 mixed-income units and 12,000-sf of commercial space.
It will have 519 mixed-income apartments and townhomes. This phase includes 145 of 162 units set aside for affordable housing. The redevelopment will cost $334 million, 10 percent of which is coming from a Department of Housing and Urban Development grant.
The project is named after Robert Hughes Sr., the nation’s winningest boys basketball coach and a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. He won three state titles at I.M. Terrell in Fort Worth and two at Dunbar High School in Washington D.C.
