This development, supported by the Mayor, Highland Heights City Council and a wide variety of other organizations, is a new senior housing construction project in response to a significant loss of subsidized housing for senior citizens in Campbell County, KY. Highland Village is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit development with many funding sources: KHC tax credits, CDBG, owner equity, owner loans, bank grant, KY Affordable Housing Trust Fund, and State Department of Transportation Replacement Housing Mitigation funds. Total development cost was around $22 Million.

Highland Village is a model for integration of affordable units into suburban communities. It is retirement housing for middle income people who did not plan for retirement and will become low-income people once they retire. 

The development includes 104 one-bedroom units and 14 two-bedroom units. All 104 one-bedroom units are located in a single three-story building, with the 14 two-bedroom units dispersed among one-story duplexes. These 14 units have attached garages, front porches, and private patios. And, the 104 units have private balconies and off-street parking. Of the total units, 71 serve residents with income of less than or equal to 50% of AMI, and 47 serve residents at 60% of AMI or less.
