Oaks Intown Apartments

Oaks Intown & Heritage at Oaks Intown (Senior) has undergone the first phase of renovation, converting four existing public housing communities to Project-Based Rental Assistance via the HUD Rental Assistance Demonstration program. The Albany Housing Authority (AHA) has been approved by HUD for a full portfolio conversion of its entire public housing portfolio.

This initial phase of RAD conversion involved four contiguous public housing communities near downtown Albany: McIntosh Homes, a community of 125 units; O.B. Hines, a community of 56 units; Thronateeska Homes, a community of 32 units; and Golden Age Apartments, a senior community of 66 units. The community include studio, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartment homes. The scope of renovation planned in the RAD conversion will focus primarily on full interior modernization of the buildings, including new HVAC, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, fixtures, and other improvements.
