More affordable housing is coming to Ann Arbor after the City Council Monday night approved a new Avalon Housing project on South Maple Rd.
Technical difficulties prevented the meeting from airing or being recorded. Avalon Housing is looking to build a four-story building with 39 affordable one-bedroom units on a 1.5-acre lot. It’s on Maple between Liberty and Pauline.
Ward 1 Council member Lisa Disch says it’s good to see more affordable housing going up in Ann Arbor.
“We see a project like this, and we are grateful. Homelessness has increased 20% overall in Washtenaw County since 2020. There is a 50% increase for those who experience chronic homelessness.”
The lack of broadcasting capabilities did force the Council to postpone the discussion and vote on a resolution for the Arbor South development.
