Tacoma church opens 60 affordable-housing units to complete decades-long vision
A Tacoma church and community leaders recently celebrated a new affordable-housing project in the Hilltop neighborhood that has been decades in the making. The Shiloh New Life Apartments next to the Shiloh Baptist Church, 1211 S. I St., offers 60 affordable housing units for low-income individuals and families, with a priority on offering units to individuals experiencing homelessness. Pastor Chavis Young told The News Tribune the church purchased the land for the apartments nearly 25 years ago with a vision to create affordable housing. 'This was birthed from the heart of Pastor E.S. Brazill, who wanted to create low-income housing on that land,' Young said. Before becoming the New Life Apartments, Young said, the land was used for a variety of purposes, including transitional housing for those exiting incarceration. He said the New Life Apartments were part of a decades-old vision by the late Brazill, who 'dreamed of creating housing on a bigger scale.' Brazill's vision was carried on by Pastor Gregory Christopher, who retired from Shiloh Baptist Church in 2023 after serving the Hilltop community for more than 20 years. Young said Christopher 'had a heart for serving' the unhoused community as he experienced homelessness earlier in his life. While neither Christopher nor Brazill was not at the church to see their vision come to fruition, Young said it was a 'blessing' to see the land where five houses once sat transformed into housing for dozens of families and individuals. The complex is composed of two separate buildings, one named for Brazill's wife, Lily, and the other named for James and Marilyn Walton — two community leaders who were involved with the church. James Walton was the City of Tacoma's first Black city manager. Shane Vestnys, a property manager for the apartments, told The News Tribune as of May 7 all but one of the units had been leased. Vestnys said one-third of the units are reserved for veterans experiencing housing instability. Veterans can be referred to the units through Veterans Affairs, and the Tacoma Housing Authority is providing housing vouchers for those individuals. Units are also available for individuals with disabilities. Many of the units come furnished, and Vestnys said a representative from a service provider is on site to assist residents with the supportive services they might need. The units are intended for individuals and families earning 30–50% of the Area Median Income (AMI). According to recent U.S. Census Bureau data from 2023, Tacoma's household AMI is $83,857. The nearly $34 million project received $5,077,566 in funding from Pierce County, $6,020,000 from the Washington State Department of Commerce, $4,444,893 through the City of Tacoma's Community Redevelopment Authority Board, and $14,458,765 in equity from the Washington State Housing Finance Commission's Low Income Housing Tax Credit. The public investments mark a region-wide push to create affordable housing stock. 'To fully meet the housing needs of current and future residents, the county needs to produce, on average, over 2,300 units per year of housing affordable at or below 50% of area median income (AMI) through the year 2044,' the county's Housing Action Strategy of 2022 found. 'Over half of these units are needed for households at 30% of AMI or below.'

Huge South Boston public housing complex gets $70 million to start redevelopment
Advertisement 'For almost nine decades, Mary Ellen McCormack has been a cornerstone of Boston's commitment to affordable housing,' Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said in a statement. 'Today, we take a major step forward in ensuring that this historic community remains a vibrant, inclusive home for generations to come.' Tenants have been involved in planning the entire project, according to Carol Sullivan, executive director of the Mary Ellen McCormack Task Force, a resident advocacy group. 'I am very proud of this partnership and cannot wait to see the smiles on the residents' faces when they move into their new, affordable homes,' Sullivan said in a statement. Artists renderings of the first building in the planned redevelopment of South Boston's Mary Ellen McCormack public housing complex. The Architectural Team WinnCompanies CEO Gilbert Winn said the redevelopment project would be a model for similar projects across the country. 'This first building jumpstarts an ambitious and inspired undertaking many years in the making that will ultimately give rise to a new mixed-income and mixed-use neighborhood,' Winn said in a statement. The project's financing, $62 million for the building and $8 million for infrastructure, came from a variety of sources including a construction loan from the Bank of America, federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit and Energy Tax Credit equity from Bank of America, a tax-exempt bridge loan and tax-exempt first mortgage loan from MassHousing, and a subordinate loan from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund maintained by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing & Livable Communities.

All current residents will have the right to occupy new apartments as the project proceeds. Aaron Pressman can be reached at

Historic Lexington Church to undergo renovation, build affordable senior housing
As plaster fell off the ceiling of the 100-year-old building home to Woodland Christian Church in 2020, church leaders knew they needed help keeping the building in one piece. Damaged windows and empty classrooms punctuated the crumbling ceiling. Worship services moved to the basement. Rev. Christy Jo Harber feared the church may have to sell the building it has called home since 1925. She asked Rev. Donald K. Gillett II, the regional minister of the Christian Church Disciples of Christ, 'Can these bones live?' He answered Thursday, that through 'the goodness, the grace and the mercy of God,' life will continue in the halls of the building. In partnership with local developer Winterwood Inc., the church broke ground Thursday on a renovation project that will preserve its historic building and meet a housing need in the community. The church will build 38 affordable housing units for seniors aged 55 and older who make less than 60% of the area's median income -- or $45,720 for a family of two. It also will restore the sanctuary. 'Many churches today face challenges with underutilized buildings and the financial burden of maintaining. We believe our partnership with Winterwood is more than innovative – it's unique,' said church elder Gary Barksdale. 'This project can become a model for other congregations seeking to address the growing need for affordable housing while remaining an active faith community.' Unused classrooms and offices in the back of the church will be converted into eight apartments, and a new building constructed on the grassy lot next door will have 30 apartments. Zach Worsham, vice president of Winterwood, said he expects people to be moving into the units, called The Oaks at Woodland, in the first quarter of 2026. Worsham said it took awhile to finalize the funding for the project, which is estimated to cost $13 million. The developers secured a Low Income Housing Tax Credit and a Historic Preservation Tax Credit for the program. The Low Income Housing Tax Credit is a federal program, but funds are disseminated from the Kentucky Housing Corporation. 'We at (Kentucky Housing Corporation) have been talking a lot lately about the housing supply gap across Kentucky. We need over 200,000 more homes,' said Justin Long, a project specialist with the Kentucky Housing Corporation. 'We need them today. Fayette County is not immune. This region needs over 22,000 units.' They invested $646,000 in tax credits for the apartments. Those tax credits can be sold to investors who then put up equity. WNC associates, an affordable housing real estate firm, purchased the Woodland Church tax credits, and then allocated some to CVS, the drugstore. WNC associates put up $6.9 million in equity for the constriction of the affordable housing units. The city of Lexington allocated $3.2 million of American Rescue Plan Act funds, or coronavirus relief money, to the project, and $1 million from the local affordable housing fund. Mayor Linda Gorton said the construction will meet a pressing need in the city because 25% of Lexington's population is 55 or older. Fundraising is not done yet. Harber asked the community to make donations to improve the renovation efforts of the sanctuary. She said if the church can raise $200,000, the church could purchase equipment to make the building a performing arts venue. 'Lexington has known for many years now that an art filled community is a healthy community – with restored venues like the Lyric and Kentucky theaters offering vibrant expressions of art that heal and strengthen its audience,' she said. 'We believe that if our sanctuary were equipped as a performing arts space, it could further nurture the arts in our beautiful city.' The money raised would help the church buy lighting, audio and video equipment, Harber said.
