Since June 2023, the city has been working to renovate and revitalize the former Super8 Motel on West Vine Street in Kissimmee into the “Haven on Vine,” an affordable housing complex.
“I really think America needs to step up to the plate and help their people out. I really think affordable housing. Don’t talk about it. Do it,” said Marcellus White, a current resident.
White said before the “Haven on Vine” that he experienced homelessness after his former home’s rent became too high to pay.

He said he checked all the boxes on the criteria list, and the rent is affordable with his current employment income.
The complex is slated to be completed at the end of the year and has already started to get tons of applications from people looking to move in.
