![Embroiled in an impossible ethical dilemma, a choice between constructing urgently needed affordable housing or deferring to the community of color displaced and downcast by racist housing policies, Haywood St. Community Development ultimately decided to yield our vision for housing on Ashland Avenue. Filled with grief for the people in poverty, many black and brown-bodied, still waiting for keys to a front door, we ceded to the unknown and started considering other options.
And then something remarkable happened. A site we pursued years prior- one much closer to the sanctuary, one with western facing mountain views, one without adjacent residential neighbors, one without the oppressive history of urban renewal, one within a neighborhood long known for championing affordable housing- became available again. Heartened by the opportunity, we agreed on terms with the seller and recently went under contract at 339 West Haywood Street.
Since Haywood St. Congregation has long welcomed the unhoused community without reservation, many contending with severe mental illness, generational scarcity, institutional isolation, and substance use disorder, one might assume the same intention with Haywood St. Community Development (HSCD) housing. And that would be true if we were attempting to build on campus. However, in this instance, our proposal is not the desperately needed Homeward Bound project at the Days Inn (permanent supportive housing), nor the long-overdue crisis shelter at the Ramada Inn (low barrier), nor abiding AHOPE (homeless day center).
