We're honored to have been awarded low-income housing tax credits by Mayor Brandon Johnson & the Chicago Department of Housing for our proposed project at 5853 North Broadway. Our project will deliver 90 units of affordable family housing in a neighborhood that has not seen new affordable housing development in decades. A lot of work remains to get this project completed, but this is a critical milestone and an important step along the way. #affordablehousing #ETOD #LIHTC
