JPH & Associates, Inc. is pleased to announce the opening of Pope John XXIII Villas, an affordable elderly housing project completed by the Diocese of Venice. JPH & Associates, Inc coordinated all aspects of the project from the grant application process up through initial occupancy. This 68 unit, $9.7 million dollar project was financed by the US Department of HUD, in addition to Lee County which provided supplementary funding of $600,000. Lee County funding was used to complete a variety of off-site improvements which included a road, extension of utilities, and flood prevention improvements. The project is located adjacent to Blessed Pope John XXIII Catholic Church. Unique design and construction elements include a back-up generator which will power all common areas and one elevator in the event of a power interruption, use of tile throughout, electric elevators, and fully accessible units. The project is one of the first HUD 202 properties which has received the Florida Green Building Coalition Platinum energy rating. The contractor reported per unit electric costs of only $12 during the month of October.
