Liberty52 Supportive Housing Rises in Philly
Liberty Housing Development Corp. (LHDC) broke ground Friday on Liberty52: Stephen F. Gold Community Residences in Philadelphia. Rising on vacant city-owned land, the 24-unit project will provide permanent supportive housing for individuals transitioning from the nursing home with physical disabilities, individuals with intellectual disabilities, and seniors age 55+.
“The building once completed will be a beacon for accessibility and our Independent Living movement for people with disabilities,” said Bianca Wallidin, LHDC executive director. The project sponsor is the development arm of nonprofit Liberty Resources and Philadelphia’s Center for Independent Living.
Liberty52 is a 9% low-income housing tax credit deal with multiple sources of funding. They include the ARC of Philadelphia, the City of Philadelphia Division of Housing and Community Development, Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, LISC, the Philadelphia Housing Authority, Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority, PHFA, Raymond James, TD Bank and TD Charitable Foundation. It’s expected to open later this year.
The Connect Apartments Conference will take place June 20, 2019 in Los Angeles. For more information, or to register, click here.
