Aletheia House Real Estate, Birmingham, AL

Norwood neighborhood, Birmingham, AL

Aletheia House plans to acquire and rehabilitate homes in the Norwood neighborhood of Birmingham, with help from the Housing Enterprise of Central Alabama and its non-profit affiliate, the Housing Fund of Central Alabama.

In May 2005, HECA's Loan and Investment Committee approved a $500,000 revolving line of credit to Aletheia House for the project. The first phase will include buying and rehabilitating eight single-family homes in the neighborhood, located north of downtown.

Aletheia House also will receive a grant from the Fund in the amount of up to $5,000 per home acquired and rehabbed (not to exceed $40,000).

Aletheia House is a Birmingham-based non-profit that has provided substance abuse treatment and prevention services for 30 years. It also develops and manages housing for low-income people, including but not limited to, those who have completed its treatment program. In 2003-2004, the agency developed 64 units of permanent housing known as Avondale Gardens, a $5.5 million investment in the historic Avondale neighborhood of Birmingham.
