The project is aiming to break ground in spring 2020, with the first units coming available in Winter 2021 and full buildout of the housing that following summer.
Inter-Faith Housing nonprofit just learned it will get a $10 million grant for its Midtown development, the Siler Yard Arts and Creativity Center.
Affordable live-work rental project for artists on Siler Road… the idea has been in the works for quite some time. Inter-Faith Housing applied in two other funding cycles. A variety of other costs have been covered by other interested parties, such the National Endowment for the Arts and the city itself, which donated the land and promised to cover the costs of utilities like sewer lines and water. Creative Santa Fe is a project partner.
The 65-unit development is slated to include performance, exhibition and “micro-retail” space, a shared workshop and a classroom with programs such as entrepreneurship training to help residents transition to sustainable living and find connections to social services.
