The Culver City Redevelopment Agency is seeking authorization to prepare an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles for a housing development at 4044-4068 Globe Avenue.

The plan calls for the transformation of these seven properties into six duplex buildings.

Globe Avenue is zoned "R2," which identifies residential areas characterized by single-family dwellings and duplexes. It's is a really nice, tree-lined street. The only drawback is that it directly abuts the freeway.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization building simple, decent, affordable housing. Habitat houses are purchased by families at prices affordable to low-income Americans, thanks to the donated labor of Habitat volunteers, the support of partner organizations and the no-profit, no-interest terms of each U.S. Habitat for Humanity mortgage.

If you have anything to say about this proposal, pro or con, the redevelopment agency is holding an open forum on Monday, June 13, 2011, at 7:00 pm, in the Culver City Hall, Council Chambers at 9770 Culver Boulevard.

For more information about the project contact John Fisanotti at the Culver City Redevelopment Agency at (310) 253-5767 or Tevis Barnes at the Culver City Housing Division at (310) 253-5782.
