New Life Village’s Campus Improvements Funded by Hillsborough County Affordable Housing Services
CDBG Facilities – Splash Pad
In the spring of 2021, we completed an accessible splash pad addition to our pool. This splash pad especially serves the many younger children in our community who have not yet learned how to swim. Providing all of our youth with opportunities to play outside together is important for exercise and relationship-building, thereby supporting kids’ physical and emotional wellness!
CDBG Facilities – Garden
In the spring of 2021, we also completed work on a community garden, where residents of all ages come together to grow fruits and vegetables. Our garden is a space for learning, quiet reflection, and intergenerational bonding. It grants beauty and peace to our Village while also supporting food security for the families who live here.
HOME Funding – Multifamily
New Life Village is proud to partner with University of South Florida Students. Students in the School of Architecture and Community Design collaborate with NLV’s staff and residents to create a master plan for our 12-acre campus. They have designed the Village’s new splash pad and community garden funded by the Hillsborough County Affordable Housing Services. Students, under the leadership of Professor Josue Robles designed Phase III of the campus development including a multi-purpose mixed use building and a studio dormitory style residential expansion.
