Since 2018, EJP has advised the Wilmington Housing Authority— first by completing a strategic portfolio assessment and then by driving the agency’s repositioning strategy, RAD conversions, and Section 18 applications across its portfolio. Partnering with REACH Riverside, EJP led the grant writing that secured a $50 million HUD Choice Neighborhoods Implementation award in 2023 for the Northeast Wilmington Transformation Plan (NEW Plan), which targets Riverside residents. The multiphase redevelopment will deliver more than 550 mixed‑income homes, including 273 one‑for‑one replacement units and builds on momentum from the pre‑grant completion of Imani Village Phases I and II. Today, EJP continues to guide funding strategies, mixed‑finance structuring, and implementation oversight to ensure the NEW Plan’s community‑driven vision becomes reality.
