HOME (the Housing Opportunity Management Enterprises, nee the Housing Authority of the City of El Paso) is building some new affordable apartments at the intersection of N Campbell and Montana.
The development will apparently be called the Nuestra Señora Apartments. So far there’s no word on whether non-Catholics will be housed in the project, across the street from St. Clements (formerly Episcopal) Church, and about a nine iron from St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
Something, something, separation of church and state.
Personally, I don’t have a problem with it.
It does have a strange name if it is not adjacent to some sort of Catholic landmark, though. I, too, have no problem with it, but yeah. Although, it does appear, once again, that the vast majority of available housing to DTEP is still mostly low income, and this only adds to that.
It is intended to house senior citizens only.
Catholic senior citizens?
