The Rosewood Choice Neighborhoods Plan employs a comprehensive approach to neighborhood planning by revitalizing the distressed Rosewood Courts public housing complex while investing and leveraging investments in well-functioning services, high quality public schools and education programs, high quality early learning programs and services, public assets, public transportation, and improved access to jobs. The Rosewood Choice Neighborhoods Plan has been developed with the active involvement of Rosewood Courts residents, community leaders, residents of the City’s designated Rosewood and Central East Austin planning areas, City staff and a variety of affordable housing, education and social service providers who have long-standing relationships with the Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) and the Rosewood community.
The vision of the Plan is that the Rosewood Choice Neighborhood becomes a stable, true mixed income community that respects the different cultures and values of area residents today and tomorrow. Rosewood Courts enhancements reflect the historic and cultural significance of the site while accommodating the needs of both current and future residents. Rosewood Courts families and other low-income neighborhood residents have the support and services needed to help them move their families from poverty to prosperity.
