A new affordable housing development is coming to Mobile.

On Wednesday, the city announced that it was developing Live Oak Trace, an affordable housing development for senior citizens, located at the intersection of Overlook and Middle Ring roads. The development will contain 56 units plus amenities such as a clubhouse, scheduled activities, a computer center, a fitness room and adaptable units designed for usability and accessibility, according to a news release from the city of Mobile.

Live Oak Trace is being developed by Aletheia House, a Birmingham-based Community Housing Development Organization. Established in 1972, Aletheia House is one of the largest providers of affordable housing in Alabama, according to their website.

In 2023, the city of Mobile will be opening a nonprofit resource center, and Aletheia House will establish an office within that center, the news release says. Having a physical presence in Mobile will help Aletheia House “better plan and develop affordable rental and for-sale housing, as it has in other Alabama communities.”

“We are hopeful this will be the first of many affordable housing projects in the city of Mobile,” Chris Retan, executive director of Aletheia House, said.
