About this grant
With this grant, Communities First will construct two new apartment buildings near the intersection of Ballenger Highway and Flushing Road at the border of the city of Flint and Flint Township. Together, the new construction will provide 74 mixed-income housing units located near a commercial corridor and a residential neighborhood. Of the 74 total units, 32 will be permanent supportive housing units. In addition to apartment homes, the buildings will feature space for: 1) community gathering; 2) supportive services; 3) a gym and wellness activities; 4) a children’s play area; and 5) tenant storage. The apartment buildings will help address the need for new and diverse housing options for Flint residents.
