This Five-Year Plan outlines the Tallahassee Housing Authority's quantifiable goals and objectives for the next five years to serve low-income families. The plan focuses on expanding assisted housing and housing choice vouchers, improving housing quality, and ensuring equal opportunity and fair housing. Other priorities include enhancing public housing program performance, providing programs for economic opportunity and self-sufficiency, increasing customer satisfaction, fostering professional development for residents and staff, revising personnel policies, improving housing delivery system management, reducing client file error rates, and providing a safer community for residents.

This Transformation Plan, developed for the Tallahassee Housing Authority, outlines the redevelopment of the Orange Avenue Apartments and a comprehensive vision for the Orange Avenue Corridor. The plan emphasizes extensive community engagement, creating an economically integrated neighborhood with diverse and affordable housing choices, including senior housing. Key strategic pillars involve leveraging the apartment redevelopment as a catalyst for broader community improvements, fostering mixed-use retail and commercial development, integrating public services such as a police headquarters and an early learning center, and enhancing infrastructure to create a safe, pedestrian-friendly, and vibrant environment, while also addressing environmental considerations like stormwater management.
