DETROIT
Over two decades ago, legendary urban visionary Jim Rouse
and his wife Patty founded Enterprise with the ambitious
goal of making sure every American lives in a decent,
affordable home.
Who Are We?
We are a national nonprofit with more than 30 years of
experience in the community development and affordable
housing field.
We are the leading provider of capital and expertise for
affordable housing and community development.
Our Mission
At Enterprise, we create opportunity for low- and moderateincome people through affordable housing in diverse,
thriving communities.
Central to our mission is Enterprise’s fundamental
commitment to give people living in poverty an opportunity
to move up and out. We believe that these opportunities are
best provided in communities with a diverse mix of affordable
and market housing options, access to jobs and social
supports, and a strong commitment to the environment and
civic participation.
Enterprise Design Initiatives
Our mission is to improve people’s lives by integrating
intentional, functional and inspiring design into affordable
housing to create stronger, thriving communities.
The Affordable Housing Design Leadership Institute (AHDLI)
The AHDLI brings together leaders on the frontline of
affordable housing design and development for a twoand-a-half day session focused on innovation and best
practices in community design. The goal of the Institute
is to improve upon the design practices in the affordable
housing arena and raise development leaders’ capacity to
produce more livable and sustainable housing for low- and
moderate-income people living in the United States.

WELCOME TO THE 7TH ANNUAL
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DESIGN LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
Hosted in partnership with the City of Detroit, this year’s program is organized as a “Design Camp,”
to bring together developers, designers, and city agencies in collaboration and shared learning.
Through two and a half days of workshops and charrettes, Design Camp seeks to understand how
partnerships between designers, developers, and city agencies can result in exceptional projects
which meet the needs of residents and strengthen neighborhood fabric.
This event would not be possible without the support of our founding sponsor, The McKnight
Foundation, who has been a pioneer in supporting design excellence in affordable housing. We are
grateful to the Kendeda Fund for their enthusiastic support for innovative practices in affordable
housing. And we would like to also thank our local sponsors, HED, Hennessey Engineering Inc., and
Huntington for welcoming us to Detroit and to the region.
We are thrilled to have Julie Eizenberg, FAIA deliver the public keynote “Affordable Housing – Three
Ways.” Julie has been involved with the Institute since its inaugural year in Minneapolis, and we are
looking forward to hearing about her experience working on thoughtful, well-designed affordable and
mixed-income projects in a variety of conditions.
Our entire team across Enterprise like to welcome you to Detroit, a city taking on an ambitious
planning process for neighborhood revitalization. Maurice Cox, planning director for the City of
Detroit and co-founder of AHDLI, is at the helm of this effort. This year’s Institute would not have
come together without the help of Maurice and his colleagues at the City. Enterprise reaffirms
its commitment to opportunity in Detroit by partnering an Enterprise Rose Architectural Fellow at
Jefferson East Inc., and through the dedicated work of Kylee Mitchell, Senior Director for Enterprise
in Detroit.
Thank you for your commitment to this important work. We look forward to working together to raise
the standards and impacts of design in affordable housing.

KONING EIZENBERG ARCHITECTURE | LOS ANGELES, CA
A keen observer of everyday life, Julie Eizenberg leads
investigations that reframe the way we think about
conventional building typologies. Her focus on user
experience, whether for individuals, underserved
communities or the public at large, brings a
perspective that translates seemingly mundane
programs into places of ease and generosity.
Julie teaches and lectures around the world, is on
the board of Public Architecture. Her forthcoming
book, titled “Urban Hallucinations,” takes on the idyll
of “local” and “neighborhood” through the design
of recent projects in the Los Angeles region. Under
her leadership, Koning Eizenberg
has earned over 135 design and
sustainability awards and been
widely published. The practice has
been honored as AIA California’s
Firm of the Year, and Julie and

SCHEMATIC PROJECT
PROJECT SUMMARY
PROJECT INFORMATION
Mack/Alter Housing is the new “steel” construction of a
36-unit rental community located on Detroit East side just
south of the Mack/Alter shopping center. It is near bus
routes on Charlevoix and Alter, thus giving it easy access
to downtown and other major employment, shopping, and
entertainment areas. The location has several retail centers
within a few miles.
DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
New Construction
With decent housing above the City average, it is worth
the investment to preserve the neighborhood, and less
expensive than allowing vacant and dangerous buildings to
remain in the neighborhood, possibly engendering further
decay.
The City of Detroit and the Detroit Land Bank are the
sellers of the land. Before approving site control, the City
must determine design and density parameters for the
development in conjunction with area residents.
The total project cost is approximately $6 million. This
request for Detroit HOME funding of $750,000 and the
proposed LIHTC equity of $5.25 million from NEF are the two
funding sources.

SCHEMATIC PROJECT
PROJECT SUMMARY
PROJECT INFORMATION
West Angeles City Place Apartments will consist of 70
single-bedroom and studio units for senior citizens.
Commercial space will also be available to accommodate
small businesses and/or service agencies for residents
at the Apartments and from the surrounding area. The
Apartments will be located close to buses and (starting in
2019) Metro rail. This complex will also benefit from ready
access to local retail stores, schools and key services and
amenities available on the Crenshaw Corridor.
DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
Transit-Oriented
The proposed 70-unit project will be developed on .52 acres
with frontage on Crenshaw Blvd and serve low income
senior households. The property is currently improved
with one 8,600 sq. ft. commercial building, which will be
demolished. The modern designed urban infill project will
have approximately 43,000 sq.ft. or residential space and
2,291 sq.ft. of ground floor commercial space fronting
Crenshaw Blvd. The project will be comprised of 25
studios, and 45 one bedroom units located in one 5 Story
building. The project will be built on two parcels owned
by West Angeles CDC. The sites were assembled with the
intention of West Angeles redeveloping the site into a
mixed-use housing project. The property is within 1,200
feet of the to be built Slauson and Crenshaw station/stop
for the Crenshaw/LAX line. The strategic location of the
subject project will provide seniors with convenient public
transportation throughout southern California. In addition,
the project is located near a library, parks, a Clinic and a
pharmacy which will serve the senior community.
The community space will open up to a courtyard with
multiple sitting areas. The units will have energy efficient
appliances and will be designed to maximize the sq.ft. of the
unit. The property will also have a variety of green amenities
such as on site recycling program, solar paneling and water
conservation system to name a few. Also the social service
components for the residents will serve individual senior
daily needs and seniors who are at risk of being homeless.

SCHEMATIC PROJECT
PROJECT SUMMARY
POPULATION SERVED
The Eastmoor Refresh project is situated in the Mississippi
Delta where economic poverty, and the host of challenges
that come with it, are entrenched. Eastmoor is a
neighborhood outside of the rural town of Moorhead, and
the history of this LIHTC development is chronicled in a
Harper’s Magazine article from 2013.
SPECIFIC CONTEXT
Today, the project team is partnering with members of the
Eastmoor community to work toward building opportunity
and equity within this challenging historical context. The
project team includes both traditional and nontraditional
partners such as the University of Mississippi Law Clinic
and the Carl Small Town Center/MSU College of Art,
Architecture, and Design. The project is currently in the
pre-development phase and the project team is strategizing
how to respond to the context of Eastmoor through both
the built environment and the ways in which completed
buildings are owned and operated.
CHALLENGES AND GOALS
• Prioritize the goals of existing community members
by leveraging our university based partners time
commitments to maximize the quality and types
of community engagement, and addressing home
rehabilitations before new construction.
• Maximize the long-term impact of the project through
providing economic opportunities to local businesses
and building workforce development into construction.

ALL COSTS
Architecture students from
Mississippi State University and
social scientists and community
lawyers from the University of
Mississippi will facilitate community
engagement. The rebuilding of this
existing neighborhood will consider
the past. Respect of the experiences,
history, and previous investment of
the occupants is the key to success.
Utilizing funding not just as a means
toward realizing housing, the
project team will apply lessons
learned in piloting job training
programs to overcome skills gaps in
the local economy. Education is
important for economic
development as well as helping
occupants be happier and healthier.
Thoughtful design does not have to
equate to elevated costs. A home
well-suited to its occupants is more
likely to foster an environment
supportive of aspirations. A mixture
of new homes and renovations of
existing homes will return Eastmoor
Estates to what it once was.
Deep green, real sustainable
housing considers community equity,
first costs, cost of operation,
occupant health, AND
environmental impacts. This
redevelopment will consider all
aspects of sustainable housing.

SCHEMATIC PROJECT
PROJECT SUMMARY
PROJECT INFORMATION
The project will consist of 98 family-style town home
units that will feature one-, two- and three-bedroom units
with attached garages, common recreational area, and a
clubhouse. The management office will also be located
on site. It will be built on land that has been vacant and
has experienced dumping of debris for over 15 years. One
bedroom units will feature accommodations for residents
who are physically disadvantaged. Rents for the one-,
two- and three-bedroom units will be offered to applicants
whose incomes are at or below 30%, 40% and 60% of
AMI. The one-bedroom units are offered exclusively to
individuals who are physically disadvantaged. The two- and
three-bedroom units will feature 1 1/2 baths or 2 full baths
respectively. All units include individual laundry areas.
Landscaping of the development will provide a beautiful
ambience through-out and surrounding the site.

Park Meadows Village (PMV) will transition this Northwest
Community that has suffered from disinvestment for several
decades, into a community that provides contemporary
affordable housing for income qualified households. RCDC
has already spent thousands of dollars to purchase, demolish and clear unsafe structures, remove asbestos, and
paid relocation fees for previous owners.
The town homes will be conveniently located in a community near shopping, schools, church, Henry Ford Medical
Clinic, Detroit Medical Center, Nursing & Rehab Center, a major freeway and public transportation. It is also a
walk-able community. The development team for PMV has concluded that the practical approach to neighborhood
transformation in this area was to introduce an updated housing design with affordable rents. PMV will also benefit
those individuals who are/will work at the above mentioned businesses/schools, etc.

We want to successfully integrate this

where we are surrounded mostly by
single-family Cape Cod-style homes.
We want to incorporate green
technology to reduce utility costs and
maintain long-term affordability for
residents.
We want to work cooperatively with the
other CDCs working in the neighborhood,
including Amandla CDC.
We had land-assembly issues with
private owners interspersed in our
parcels. How can we address the lack of
contiguity in our development?

of affordable housing. It was during this time that she
was introduced to the use of the Low Income Housing
Tax Credit and the HOME programs. She and her team
went on to develop a total of over 174 affordable housing
units, valued at approximately $19M in investment on
Detroit’s Northwest side. Shortly thereafter, she went
on to become the Executive Director of another Detroit
based agency which had an operating budget of over
$1M, and engaged in larger scale housing development
projects. She also took on the new
challenge of managing a real estate
development portfolio totaling over
$50M. Currently, Ms. Turner serves as
the Executive Director of the Amandla

SCHEMATIC PROJECT
PROJECT SUMMARY
PROJECT INFORMATION
Located in a residential neighborhood in Northwest Detroit,
the project site is adjacent to the Fellowship Chapel
Church. The 10 - acre site is located 1 block south of Outer
Drive, which serves as mass transit and offers a number
of commercial services. The Fellowship Estates project is
the second phase of an overall re-development plan, which
grew out of the ministry of the Fellowship Chapel Church.
It would serve as the housing component of the planned
“Village Community”.
DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
New Construction
Transit-Oriented Development
The project was designed to meet the specific housing
needs of the senior population. Support from DTE Energy,
the project will be developed using state of the art, energy
efficient, technologically sound and secure housing that
will be developed according to green building standards.
Seniors will able benefit from the convenient supportive
services. These services will include an on-site fitness
center, laundry facilities, health screenings and personal
grooming services. In addition, transportation services
may be available for them to travel to and from medical
appointments and off-site shopping. The site was designed
to offer common areas that will encourage socialization and
to provide added security. The professionally landscaped
site will be complete with walking paths, a pond, and a
fountain to add to the beauty of the site

Our initial concept for the project were
more suburban, but we realized it should
be more urban and maintain the street

doing in terms of urban design.

TCB’s experience with existing mixed-income

goal for the Institute is to develop a set of design principles for the Amory Street Redevelopment that will support

We want to integrate resident services into the design of
the building.
We are adding many units to this neighborhood in order
to make the deal financially feasible – how can we
integrate this level of density units successfully into the
surrounding community?
We want to be more thoughtful about how open space
gets integrated into the master plan. One of the project
components is a greenway extension – how can we
establish a hierarchy of open space uses within the
development?

ABOUT US
ENTERPRISE DESIGN INITIATIVES
National Design Initiatives, a growing program of Enterprise Community Partners, is built on the premise that
design excellence—high quality, innovative, sustainable and holistic community development—is essential
to the success of affordable housing and the long term health and well-being of underserved communities.
For more than a decade, Enterprise’s National Design Initiatives has been pursuing this mission through the
deployment of architectural fellows into community development corporations around the country. Today, this
office is expanding its commitment to bridging the knowledge gap between architects and community developers
to achieve design excellence and innovation in affordable housing.
