Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS — The city of Indianapolis, along with TWG Development LLC and community leaders, recently celebrated the grand opening of Illinois Street Senior Apartments, a 63-unit, low-income housing community, on Oct. 28. Facilitated through the Department of Metropolitan Development (DMD), TWG was awarded U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant funds to purchase and develop the historic building at 1352 N. Illinois St. The vacant building once housed Fame Laundry Co. The city supported this project with two HUD funds: the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), which supports affordable housing projects across the city, and the National Stabilization Program (NSP), a competitive grant created to help local governments acquire and redevelop buildings. The Community Investments Division of DMD earned the NSP grant in 2015, enabling the city and TWG to invest in the property and return it to a community asset.
