New Life Village’s Campus Improvements Funded by Hillsborough County Affordable Housing Services
CDBG Facilities – Splash Pad
During Spring of 2021, the Village 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, relationship-building and healing thereby supporting kids’ physical and emotional wellness!
CDBG Facilities – Garden
During Spring 2021, the Village 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
During Spring of 2023, the Village completed Phase II, 16 new 3- and 4-bedroom townhomes and approximately 70 low to moderate income residents moved in. These units provide caregivers of 3 or more children additional bedrooms and living space. They were specifically designed to allow Kinship and Foster Parents to keep sibling groups together.
CDBG Facilities – Hope Field & Court
Completed in the Summer of 2025, Hope Field and Court provides a vibrant, muraled basketball court dedicated to three cherished community heroes—designed to inspire, uplift, and remember; a fully turfed athletic field, now serves as a space for connection, teamwork, and healing through play and our revitalized, sun-shaded playground with safe flooring invites our youngest Villagers to safely explore, learn, and just be kids.
