“In 3 phases the Authority will move residents on-site with approximately 40 residents having the option to relocate using section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers with the ability to return when Phase 3 is complete. The Authority, has worked with others, to assist these residents to maximize their opportunity to remain in Decatur. The 3 phases will start over approximately a 6 year period with the first phase being 40 new units. As units are completed existing residents will move into them, allowing their old units to be demolished to make way for the next phase.

The plan is complex, has lots of moving parts, and requires a lot of work in each phase to bring it to fruitition. The Authority has received the support of its residents (the seniors are real excited about getting their own building), the City, and from a lot of Decatur citizens. We are gratified by the support for this important neighborhood in Decatur and will continue to work to answer any questions that arise. We plan to have Allen Wilson become an even more important and vibrant part of the great City of Decatur!”
