Phase I is a 53-unit affordable housing development that will provide rental housing to individuals and <br />families earning at or below 50 percent of the area median <br />income. The development will have one-, two-, three-, and four- <br />bedroom units and will include an on-site manager. Bascom <br />Village Phase I includes a large community center with a <br />learning center, children’s play areas, and ample vehicle and <br />bicycle parking. Construction is expected to be complete in <br />October 2015. <br /> <br />In 2014, the Housing and Community Services Agency (HASCA) <br />applied for and was awarded state tax credit financing for the <br />48-unit Bascom Village Phase II. HASCA expects to break <br />ground on Phase II in July 2015 for a completion date of <br />October 2016. Phase II will offer one-, two-, and three-bedroom <br />units. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />November 20, 2014 <br />
