Using LIHTC resources, the development team advanced a holistic revitalization strategy that paired new affordable housing with education partnerships, wellness initiatives, and programs supporting economic mobility. Thoughtful site planning and contemporary design reestablished a safe, connected neighborhood framework that supports daily life and community cohesion.
