The Cincinnati Northside Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (CNCURC) has assembled a list of items needed for its third green build, and is actively seeking donations.
The "Sponsorship Wish List" for the house, which will be built at , includes:
* Appliances
* HVAC
* Interior and exterior doors
* Fixtures
* Cabinetry
* Low VOC interior paint
Donations for the two completed Northside HOME project houses at allowed them to be kept affordable yet contemporary by keeping CNCURC's costs down.
Both of those houses recently sold.
The third house will be designed by Northside architect Alice Emmons, who reworked S. Flavio Espinoza's HOME designs to fit within the neighborhood's urban setting.
The houses are part of the CNCURC's Fergus Street Homeownership Project, a redevelopment plan designed to boost homeownership and to stem the tide of foreclosures, vacancies and crime in the area bounded roughly by Pullan Avenue, Knowlton Street, Mad Anthony Street and Langland Street.
To donate, contact Michael Berry at (513) 970-2202 or by e-mail at .
Full or partial sponsorship is tax deductible, and donors' names will be posted at the construction site.

Are you sure the Chase houses are sold or are sales just pending ?
A more traditional design, fitting the neighborhood would sell faster.
I believe one sign says "sold" and the other says "pending sale".
Agree with Citykin. Everytime I see them, I think they look unfinished and out of place.
Quim, closing on 1444 Chase will be in August. 1440 is under contract (so not technically "sold").
Hey, but if the realtors themselves want to claim them as sold....
