PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Budget Request of $190k to support the South Bend Heritage in constructing
a mixed income 6-unit apartment building
SPECIFICS: The South Bend Heritage Foundation is a local non-profit organization with extensive
experience building and managing affordable housing in South Bend. The City partnered with South
Bend Heritage to build a new six unit mixed income apartment building at the northwest corner of
Washington/Taylor. This project was in response to a Request for Proposals issued by the
Redevelopment Commission for redevelopment of the property.
It is the intention of South Bend Heritage to construct a “Manor House” style apartment building that fits
well into the historical West Washington neighborhood. The requested $190,000 would be used in
support of the construction of the project and aid in the increased costs of matching the historical
neighborhood such as using brick for the exterior. The project will fill a currently vacant unused lot and
provide needed housing options to the Near West Side.
Staff recommends approval.
