The Housing Authority of the Birmingham District (HABD) is embarking on an exciting planning process in Birmingham’s Southside Neighborhood, focused on revitalizing the 455-unit Southtown Court public housing development. Though focused on Southtown Court, the process will seek to have a positive impact on the entire Southside neighborhood through efforts aimed at revitalizing, improving and investing in the community.
Working together, area residents, community groups, business owners, and other stakeholders are undertaking the strategic planning needed to transform the Southside neighborhood into a more viable and sustainable mixed-income community that supports positive outcomes for all residents.
The vision for the Southside neighborhood is that of a culturally vibrant, diverse, accessible community rich in economic, social, and educational opportunities that are accessible to all families. The Southside Neighborhood Plan will ensure that current residents benefit from this transformation by preserving affordable housing in the neighborhood.
Southtown Court will be an energy efficient, mixed-income, mixed use development that will provide space for important community uses that connect disadvantaged residents to emerging economic opportunities.
