Approximately 120 of the units would be geared to those earning up to 30% of the median family income, which translates to $15,400 for individuals and $24,300 for families of four.

The awards include $5 million for 72Foster, which will offer 208 new affordable units on southeast Foster Road, $9 million for 76 units situated on northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and $12.9 million for capital renovations at The Henry, a Central City Concern project.
