According to the
NH&RA:
“Community Housing Partners, a regional nonprofit based in Christiansburg, Va., acquired a vacant seven-story building in 1995, constructed as The Warwick Hotel in 1928, and turned it into 88 single-room occupancy units providing affordable permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless persons. In 2011, the nonprofit renovated the same brick structure to restore its striking original appearance, upgrade the housing units, replace the roof, enhance the offices and space for resident services, and make energy efficiency improvements. The project, designed to EarthCraft green building standards, was completed in May 2013. Architectural highlights include coffered ceilings, large square columns and beams featuring intricate plasterwork, and restoration of the original terrazzo floor in the lobby. Funding sources for the $9 million project included equity generated by federal and state historic rehabilitation tax credits and federal low-income housing tax credits, several loans, and a deferred developer fee. Virginia Community Development Corporation syndicated the tax credits.”
