"Oftentimes, renters are not a priority," Turner said at the event. "We've kind of changed that paradigm, because for these 64 units that have been around for 60 years, this has been your home."

According to the city's Housing and Community Development Department, Bellfort Park was the first complex to reach completion, but renovations on six other Harvey-damaged complexes are underway and have started leasing.
All of those complexes will be home to 649 more families, the vast majority paying subsidized "affordable" rents.
The city projects 4,428 units will eventually be completed through the $450 million program.
