Redevelopment is not just about rebuilding buildings—it’s about restoring hope, improving quality of life, and ensuring public housing residents have access to modern, safe, and thriving environments. Rockford Housing Authority’s redevelopment efforts align with HUD’s mission to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.
Investing in Health and Safety
Aging housing stock poses risks—from outdated infrastructure to inaccessibility. Redevelopment ensures that all residents—especially families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities—live in environments that meet modern health, safety, and accessibility standards under HUD’s Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS).
Advancing Equity and Opportunity
HUD policies emphasize equity and fair housing. Redevelopment addresses decades of disinvestment by creating inclusive spaces with access to transportation, jobs, schools, and healthcare. Residents are involved from the start, ensuring their voices shape the future of their communities.
Building Sustainable Futures
Redevelopment prioritizes energy efficiency and sustainability, reducing utility costs and environmental impact. HUD’s Green and Resilient Retrofit Program guides these efforts, helping communities prepare for climate resilience while ensuring affordability for generations.
Redevelopment matters because every family deserves a safe, dignified place to call home. Through intentional design, resident involvement, and adherence to HUD’s goals, we build stronger communities—one foundation at a time.
