Senator Bernie Sanders helped cut the ribbon, investing $1 million from federal funds into the $24 million project, calling it a vital step toward solving America’s housing crisis instead of funding wars. Designed to stay permanently affordable, the building offers studios to two-bedroom units, nine reserved for formerly homeless residents, and ten with Section 8 vouchers keeping rent below 30% of income — starting at just $1,160/month. Already fully leased, the ground floor now houses a new veterans’ center and community justice office, while solar panels power the entire structure. Funded by 20 different sources including federal tax credits and pandemic relief, this innovative downtown development proves how diverse funding can create dignified, safe housing — especially for veterans and those rebuilding their lives.
