Volusia County joined community partners on Wednesday, Feb. 18, to celebrate the groundbreaking of Lakewood Senior Housing, an initiative supported through Volusia County’s Transform386 program that will expand affordable housing options for senior residents following recent hurricanes.
Located at 1300 Jimmy Ann Drive in Daytona Beach, the project will provide 56 affordable housing units for income-qualified seniors and represents one of four approved Transform386 multi-family housing initiatives. Lakewood Senior Housing is the first of the approved projects to move into construction, marking a significant milestone in the County’s long-term recovery efforts. Construction is anticipated to be completed by the end of next year.
Speakers at the ceremony included representatives from Volusia County, the City of Daytona Beach, and Acruva, which is partnering with the county on the project.
In addition to Lakewood Senior Housing, Volusia County has approved the support of three other Transform386 multi-family housing projects. These include Blue Sky Communities in DeLand, an 84-unit affordable housing project; Good Housing Partnership in New Smyrna Beach, a 60-unit affordable housing project; and Wendover Housing Partners in Orange City, an 80-unit senior housing project.
Transform386 uses federal disaster recovery funding to address unmet housing needs across Volusia County following Hurricanes Ian and Milton. With construction now underway at Lakewood Senior Housing, additional Transform386 housing initiatives are expected to advance this year.
