Mayor Ron Washington’s Housing Development Task Force is working to expand housing opportunities in Covington and create more homes that meet the needs of working families.
The initiative focuses on developing workforce housing, revitalizing vacant and abandoned properties, protecting Covington’s historic neighborhoods, and creating more 1- and 2-bedroom housing options.
Through strategic partnerships, city-owned properties, and existing housing programs, Covington is working toward a stronger, more affordable housing future for residents..


Neighborhood Investment Partners (NIP) is partnering with the City of Covington to transform the 300 block of Pleasant Street in Covington’s Eastside neighborhood into a new 15-home workforce housing development. The project is creating quality, attainable homes that give working families an opportunity to become homeowners and invest in the future of their community.
The first phase includes two newly constructed homes at 304 and 308 Pleasant Street.
Each home features:
NIP and the City of Covington are combining resources to make this development possible. The City contributed three City-owned parcels to NIP, which consolidated the properties to create the site for the two homes and a shared driveway.
The City is also providing funding and construction subsidies through the federally funded HOME Investment Partnerships Program, helping make the homes more affordable for eligible buyers.
To build the homes efficiently and cost-effectively, NIP selected modular construction. The homes were manufactured by Unibilt Industries in a controlled factory environment before being transported to Covington and placed on their permanent foundations.
Once delivered, NIP will complete the remaining construction, including utility connections, mechanical systems, interior finishes, porches, driveways, walkways, landscaping, and other site improvements.
Modular homes are built to the same building codes as traditional site-built homes and provide the same quality, durability, and appearance.
The Pleasant Street project will be completed in three phases and is expected to bring a total of 15 new homes to the Eastside neighborhood.
Phase 1: 2 homes — currently underway
Phase 2: 5 homes — scheduled to begin later in 2026
Phase 3: Remaining vacant lots — planning begins in fall 2026, with construction anticipated in spring 2027
