Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Program Management
EJP partnered with the Chattanooga Housing Authority (CHA) in 2019 to facilitate a resident‑driven master planning process in the Westside neighborhood near downtown Chattanooga. The resulting, award‑winning One Westside Transformation Plan—developed with CHA, Chattanooga Design Studio, local artists, and city partners— secured a $50 million HUD Choice Neighborhoods Implementation grant in 2024 and charts a seven‑phase redevelopment that will deliver at least 1,126 new mixed‑income apartment homes, replacing all 497 public‑housing units one‑for‑one with no displacement. EJP continues to assist CHA and its partners in turning this vision into reality through ongoing development consulting, funding strategies, Section 18 Demolition & Disposition, and relocation planning.
