This might make it easier? You would have to rebuild a smaller footprint of the complex to have enough total units to relocate the 122 existing residents. Could easily fit over 122 units in the footprint of the Dawson-MLK cloverleaf, if we’re talking about 12 story buildings, for example.
Not sure I follow? Mixed-income housing is commonplace. Even here in Raleigh, most of the public housing redevelopments that have happened here over the years have included a market rate component involving a private partner (Chavis, Halifax Court aka Capitol Park, Walnut Terrace…) - is this substantially different? I would think that any proceeds RHA gets from bringing in a for-profit developer here, should immediately be plowed back in to providing more (or more deeply) affordable units on this site?
