Cornerstone Creek barely trickles now, but a generous donation will soon have it flowing with affordable housing, in Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity‘s biggest development yet.
Habitat is using a $1.5-million gift from The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation in Ardmore to complete the development plan for the first phase of Cornerstone Creek, at the southwest corner of NW 150 and Morgan Road.
The first phase will have 91 affordable, energy-efficient home. In all, the neighborhood will have 450 homes, three parks, and walking trails when complete in six to eight years. Cornerstone Creek is in the Oklahoma City limits and the Piedmont public school district.
Cornerstone Creek: Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity’s largest development ever
It will be Central Oklahoma Habitat’s most extensive project ever, said Ann Felton Gilliland, chairman and CEO if the nonprofit Christian charity home building organization.
“Cornerstone Creek is Habitat’s answer to the affordable-housing crisis,” she said. “The Noble Foundation’s donation … will help thousands of Oklahomans to live healthier, safer and more financially secure lives in the years to come, and we are truly grateful.”
