Center for Human Services to add to low-income housing options in Bloomington
After receiving more than $9 million in state funding, the McLean County Center for Human Services plans to develop a new apartment building for low-income renters.
The funding is part of $123 million in state and federal dollars recently allotted by the Illinois Housing Development Authority [IHDA] to agencies that will oversee 14 developments of what's called permanent affordable housing.
"Our target population for that program is individuals with a severe mental illness who are in need of permanent supportive housing — so their income would be at or below 30% of the area median income in order for them to qualify," Hartman said in an interview with WGLT.
