Here’s what folks in Clinton have had to say about our work:<\/h2>\nJessica Kinser, City Administrator, Clinton, IA <\/span>on Clinton’s downtown progress over the last decade:<\/strong> “Community Housing Initiatives, it was their vision that started all this. They truly have been a partner with the city. We wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for Community Housing Initiatives.” (6\/8\/2015, Quad City Times)<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
Quad City Times Editorial Board, Davenport, IA:<\/span><\/strong> “Readers…know we go ga-ga for collaboration in our government laden community. When a nonprofit takes over the heavy lifting of government, we offer a standing ovation.” (6\/12\/2015)<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
Julie Allesee, First Ward Councilperson, Clinton, IA:<\/strong> <\/span>“I think that CHI has become the catalyst and the start of people thinking about the downtown environment, and I think that came about because of the quality of work CHI has done, the way they run the buildings, and the way they take care of them.”<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
Deborah Olson, Superintendent of Schools, Clinton, IA:<\/strong> <\/span>“The building has undergone a remarkable transformation. It’s a beautiful building, but the school district didn’t have the money to restore it. Now, with CHI coming in, it’s undergone something I never thought I would see, and it will be a showcase for the whole community,” she said.<\/div>\nAnd we deliver the same quality in West Des Moines<\/h2>\nAlready, CHI has completed about $20 million in quality rental development in West Des Moines at Crestview Terrace and Valley Station.<\/p>\nDebi Durham, Director of the Iowa Economic Development Authority:<\/strong> <\/span> "I specifically want to also acknowledge the developer of the Valley Station project, Community Housing Initiatives. IEDA has awarded this developer additional projects … in multifamily round six around the state because CHI delivers the goods, do they not?" (At the opening of Valley Station Apartments, shown above, in April 2014)<\/p>\nDes Moines Register Editorial Board, Des Moines, IA:<\/strong><\/span> “The city of West Des Moines hopes to buy [Phenix Elementary] and convert it to live-work spaces for artists… This would be an ideal new life for an important piece of the city’s history. The plan hinges on the city receiving a $3 million federal grant, but it seems like a winning proposal. If the grant doesn’t come through, we hope the city will continue to look for other sources.” (8\/22\/2014)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Picture it: Community leaders and neighbors gather at Phenix Elementary in West Des Moines to hail the public-private partnership that saved a historic school. A community takes pride in the fact that one of its landmark buildings is protected for another generation, and hundreds of area residents pack the building for a first look inside.… <\/p>\n
