New release from POKO Partners:
POKO Partners LLC is proud to announce that applications are now being taken for its latest affordable housing project‐Clinton Commons Apartments‐-located at 91 Clinton Avenue, Bridgeport. The new complex, set to open in March, offers 32 units of high‐quality affordable housing, 10 of which will be provided social and supportive services through and CCCYMCA Alpha Community Services. Income restrictions do apply.
Clinton Commons Apartments offers a mix of one, two and three bedroom units in a LEED silver building, offering modern energy efficient appliances. Designed by Crosskey Architects, the 4.5 story single building has six townhouse style units that form a street frontage and a welcoming appearance to the development. An elevator will serve upper floors, and there are 27 handicap accessible units. Ample parking is available for tenants. Clinton Commons promises to be a cornerstone development for the ongoing revitalization efforts on the West Side.
According to POKO Partners President Ken Olson, “as Bridgeport continues to seek to revitalize itself through a bold Master Plan, there are crucial aspects of the City’s dynamic that are needed before the revitalization vision can fully take hold. There is little doubt that Bridgeport has a critical gap between the demand for and the supply of quality affordable housing with a supportive services component. High quality affordable housing along with supportive services is a priority for this region and we believe that Clinton Commons Apartments will satisfy just this need.”
Financing for Clinton Commons Apartments was provided by the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority and the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development.

So what’s the price tag on this one?
About three hundred units of housing were torn down in this neighborhood. I wish we could spend government money wisely in this city. And I wish Bridgeport contractors would get the work.
Nice-looking units. But the problem is everything south of State St. looks like downtown Baghdad during the height of the war. Good luck.
Perhaps that is because Saddam is still in power.
