Chicago Affordable Senior LGBT-Friendly Housing Gets Tax Credits, City Funding

An affordable housing project for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) seniors will get funding assistance from the city of Chicago, according to a local Patch.com article.

About $14.5 million will be generated under Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s proposal for the $27 million development, including a $5 million city loan and $1.5 million in Low Income Housing Tax Credits.

The project involves a former Town Hall Police Station on Chicago’s north side that will be converted into a 79-unit senior apartment complex. The Chicago Police Department operated the two-story building until 2010, when it was replaced with a larger police station down the street. That same year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a Request for Proposals to redevelop the building and the parcel of vacant land next door, says Patch.

Heartland Housing’s development proposal was selected, which calls for combining the refurbished police station with a six-story apartment building to be built on the adjacent parcel of land. Read more.
