3629 Hydraulic was a long vacant / nuisance property with an out of state owner in Tower Grove South. TGCDC’s goal was to purchase the property and restore it to affordable rate housing. The property was horribly damaged due to time, weather, and squatters over the years. TGCDC cleaned out and demoed the interior, masonry was completed to rebuild failing walls, a new roof was installed, new sewer and water lines were completed, new electric and plumbing services were added, and new HVAC services were installed. All of this work left us with basically a brand new building in which we created 2 beautiful, 2 bedroom rental apartments.
During construction a new partnership was created with a local not for profit organization, Opportunity House. Opportunity House uses a community based approach towards supporting unhoused young adults by providing housing, creating stability, encouraging growth, and building community. We are proud to be partnering with Opportunity House by transforming 3629 Hydraulic into their first housing site. 3629 Hydraulic will become home to 4 unhoused young adults who identify under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella.Opportunity House will provide counseling, life skills training, and financial support to these young adults to create stability and opportunities for education and employment.
An open house was held on May 13th to show off the building to Opportunity House staff, board members and donors. The projected move in date for the young adults is June 1st, 2023.
