Project is part of Detroit\u2019s Strategic Neighborhood Fund<\/p>\n<p>La Joya Gardens is the latest project supported by the <em>Strategic Neighborhood Fund (SNF),<\/em> a partnership between the City of Detroit, Invest Detroit, neighborhood residents and corporate donors. SNF funds community-driven projects, each of which begins by soliciting input from residents. SNF, with assistance from PNC Bank, funded the community engagement process for the project, and provided $1.6 million in gap funding, which supports the deep affordability of the units.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn neighborhoods across Detroit, the Strategic Neighborhood Fund is helping us build new affordable housing and bringing new life to our historic commercial corridors like West Vernor,\u201d <em>Mayor Duggan<\/em> said. \u201cFor years, this key corner has been an empty lot, but thanks to SDBA, Cinnaire Solutions and the SNF, it will once again be thriving and a beautiful place for Detroiters and small businesses to call home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6305 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NEWLaJoya_aerial-view-1-300x172.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NEWLaJoya_aerial-view-1-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NEWLaJoya_aerial-view-1.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>&#8220;My six policy priorities include housing and equitable development, so I am thrilled to be here today to celebrate the groundbreaking of <em>La Joya Gardens<\/em>.

In 2018, the development team kicked of the project with a six-month &#8220;participatory design&#8221; phase in which more than 200 local stakeholders met with the architects in a series of meetings and focus groups. Residents and local businesses voiced their suggestions and voted on the building&#8217;s design elements, types of businesses, and community services they wanted to see, and participated in a contest to name the new community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s groundbreaking marks a pivotal moment for La Joya Gardens, an exciting development project that will not only add high-quality, affordable housing and community space for local residents to enjoy, but also prime retail space along one of the city\u2019s most vibrant commercial corridors,\u201d said <em>Laura Ch\u00e1vez-Wazeerud-Din, SDBA\u2019s Vice President of Programs &amp; Compliance.<\/em> \u201cWe are immensely grateful to all of the development partners who helped bring our community\u2019s vision to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DETROIT, March 31, 2023: The Southwest Detroit Business Association (SDBA) and Cinnaire Solutions held a groundbreaking ceremony with the City of Detroit, Invest Detroit, MSHDA and other partner organizations of La Joya Gardens \u2014 a mixed-use, mixed-income residential and commercial building that will be located at 4000 W.
