Housing Visions is a non-profit organization that builds homes in neglected communities to help low-income families. They have built homes in Syracuse, Owsego, and Auburn. Right now, Syracuse has 214 units and will have 264 when the Maple Heights project is complete in 2009. "Maple Heights will provide 50 units for Syracuse and 12 of those units will house homeless veterans," says Tina Caldwell, Senior Manager of Housing Visions. "The site is located on the 1600th Hundred Block of East Genesee Street and many people are excited for its opening."
Maple Heights is being built over a lot that was mainly used as a drug haven. Caldwell says their main goal is to help provide safe housing for those who can't afford it and try to turn around run down neighborhoods.
