Building Momentum in North Titusville
Navigate Affordable Housing Partners has been investing in North Titusville since 2018—bringing older homes back to life and adding new housing options near Washington K-8, Titusville Library, and public transit. Partnership with the Titusville Development Corporation remains strong.
We've also invested in the Washington K- for several years because we believe good, strong schools are essential to a healthy and strong community.

From Center Court to Fifth and Center

Why This Matters
We’re rebuilding a full block to improve stability and support aging in place.
This project turns underutilized land into accessible homes for the elderly and residents with disabilities.
It supports long-term neighbors with safe housing and a walkable layout.
Community development strengthens the whole block.

Full-Scale Prototype Built
Learn why we built a full-scale prototype in our warehouse.
In this video, we are built one of the Senior Cottage designs in our warehouse. This full-scale mock-up helps us work out conflicts early across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing so we can deliver a smoother build once we move to the job site.
We’re also testing how the space feels and functions, including details like door swings, trim, outlets, switches, and accessibility. The goal is an efficient delivery system that supports better quality, fewer surprises, and faster field assembly.
