Capital Impact Partners announced a $20,000 grant to The Montana Food Hub, which will be a cooperative focused on northcentral Montana’s Golden Triangle.
“This does not look like what you think of when you say affordable mixed-use housing,” said Damon Hodge of Capital Impact Partners, one of the funders of the development. “This looks like high-quality, market-rate attainable housing for the people of Detroit. We need more of this type of development that really shines positively on the city and that tenants would be proud to call home.”
“We’re focused on bringing more workforce housing to Austin,” said Chris Affinito, president and founder of Notional Development Partners. “Rising rents have forced many people to live in the suburbs and have long commutes into town. Our teachers, medical workers, first responders and others who serve such important roles for our community deserve to be able to live in our community.” Funding for this project is from Capital Impact Partners, a national nonprofit lender.
