Home Forward plans to redevelop Peaceful Villa in the year 2024. This decision affects the current 70 households who currently call Peaceful Villa “home,” as well as additional new residents for whom additional homes will be constructed. The redevelopment process includes several phases and will take four years to complete. Residents currently living at the property will have many opportunities to make choices about the future before the construction begins in 2024 and completes in 2026.
Current resident focus
Outreach to current residents began in December 2021 and will continue throughout the planning process, relocation, construction, and return process. The next resident meeting is scheduled for February 19th at 3 pm. Click here for the invitation flyer with the Zoom link to attend.
