A permit has been issued by the City of Chicago allowing construction on an affordable development at 4531 West Washington Boulevard in West Garfield Park. Corinth Temple Church of God, together with United For Better Living, applied for a permit to build C.A.R.E. Manor back in March 2024; it came through on November 13 with a reported cost of $15 million.

Wow $340,000 per unit of affordable housing is… way better than the $800,000+ we’ve been seeing from other builders
How the hell did they pull this? This is actually an amazing project considering the price of construction and amount of units. This should be more common in this city!!!!!
How the hell did they pull this off, you ask?
Easy.
This project clearly isn’t being run by crooks, 😉
