We're building a resilient Norfolk Community.
A space and place for everyone.

The City of Norfolk and the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA) have partnered to transform the Tidewater Gardens public housing community into a mixed-use, mixed-income community of the future — an economically vibrant, environmentally resilient place where people of all incomes, backgrounds, ages and cultures can live, learn, work, play and thrive. Learn more about our plan to transform the area, and change lives.

People

People come first in all our redevelopment plans. That’s why the City of Norfolk is investing $3.5 million each year into People First, empowered by USI. This comprehensive support strategy is helping Tidewater Gardens residents find homes, education, job training, family support and financial independence. How can we help you?
