Summary
The City of Fairfield highlighted plans for Tabor Commons, a 67-unit affordable housing development at 212 East Tabor to be built by nonprofit EAH, with 41 units reserved for households at 30% AMI or below and construction targeted to begin in 2027.
The City of Fairfield’s Housing Headlines segment announced plans for Tabor Commons, a 67-unit affordable housing development at 212 East Tabor, saying nonprofit developer EAH will build the project and construction is set to begin in 2027.
The project will target low-income households, with the presenter stating that most units will be available to families at 70% of area median income (AMI) or below and that 41 units will be reserved for households at 30% AMI or below, described as very low income. "The Tabor Commons project will consist of 67 units of affordable housing," Latonya Terrones said during the segment.
City support for the development, the segment said, has included local funds, project-based vouchers and a site acquisition completed in 2020 from a private owner. "The city has supported this project with the use of available funds and has continued to invest local dollars to continue to add to the affordable housing stock within the community," Terrones said.
The presenter said EAH is still securing the final portion of financing needed to complete construction. Development is described as set to begin in 2027; no additional financing amounts, funding sources by program, or permitting milestones were specified in the segment.
The Tabor Commons site was described as located behind the First 5 family recreation center on North Texas, within walking distance of Robbie Burburger Park. The segment framed that proximity as providing families easy access to recreational amenities.
The City of Fairfield published the segment as part of its Housing Headlines series and directed viewers to the city’s social accounts for more information. No formal vote, ordinance, or public hearing outcome was reported in the segment.
