The rehabilitation of four historic apartment buildings in the Detroit-Shoreway and Ohio City neighborhoods provides much needed, quality, affordable housing for low-income Cleveland residents. This West Side Homes Project is a joint effort of the West Side Rental Housing Collaborative, which includes the Cleveland Housing Network, Inc., Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization, Ohio City Near West Development Corporation, the City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority, Enterprise Community Partners, the May Dugan Center, various charities and a variety of other public and private funding sources. City Architecture and Marous Brothers Construction renovated four buildings: The Miller Building, built in 1910 (320 Lorain Avenue), the Clinton Building, built in 1898 (3607 Clinton Avenue), and two buildings at the corner of Detroit Avenue and West 65th Street, built in 1910 (the Dehner Apartments – 1408 West 65th Street and the Bank Building – 6501 Detroit Avenue). A HOPE VI replacement renovation project included: masonry cleaning, window restoration and replacement, storefront renovation and a complete overhaul of all systems and surfaces in each apartment. In the Dehner Apartments, which most recently was used as sixty-four hotel rooms without private bathrooms were converted into eighteen, one to three bedroom apartments, all with bathrooms and more generous living space. Together, the buildings contain fifty-two larger, more livable housing units; four of which are handicap accessible. The project also created seven renovated commercial storefronts. All of the buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places and received low-income tax credits and federal historic tax credits.
