Operation New Hope is a faith-based non-profit organization committed to re-building communities and providing opportunities for reintegration of ex-offenders. In 2012, Operation New Hope retained VRL Architects to design a Multi- Family apartment facility in Historic Springfield, near University of Florida Health Science Center on 8th Street.

The two level structure is designed to be harmonious with The Historic Springfield Overlay District aesthetic criteria with brick and stucco over wood framing. The new 14 unit facility is under construction on a former two level walk up apartment building site. The Design Team was successful in maximizing a constricted urban site and expects construction to be completed by mid 2016.
