Affordable Housing Communities Open, Expand Across US Cities

Several new affordable housing projects have been launched across the United States, each incorporating unique features and community-focused benefits. In Camden, New Jersey, Oliver Station opened as a $24 million affordable senior housing community offering 47 income-restricted apartments for adults 55+, combined with on-site primary care through Virtua Health, aiming to improve senior living with supportive services. In Brooklyn's Brownsville neighborhood, a 216-unit all-electric Passive House called 326 Rockaway Ave. was completed, providing affordable housing with sustainable design, amenities, and a large mural celebrating local hip-hop culture, with many units serving formerly homeless young adults. South Bend, Indiana, initiated the New Neighborhood Homes Initiative, breaking ground on 16 new homes, 12 of which are income-restricted with affordable rents, intended to revitalize vacant city land. Evansville, Kentucky, approved a $52.5 million 240-unit affordable housing project called The Reserve at Eastfield, which benefits from a significant property tax break and a state grant to support housing development. In Heber City, Utah, new deed-restricted townhomes at Jordanelle Ridge are being offered to local employees under expanded income limits to address affordability challenges, with a focus on enabling homeownership for community members.
