The Chicago City Council has sanctioned a $25 million bond for The Ave, a multi-family housing project. The Ave, which won the Chicago Ave Invest South/West RFP site in late 2021, will be situated at 3601 W. Chicago, replacing the existing Neighborhood Housing Services office and a city-owned commercial building. The project, led by KMW Communities, POAH, and CEC, will be a four-story structure housing 52 affordable apartments, a Neighborhood Housing Services space, an innovation center, 16,000 square feet of retail space, and a ground-floor parking area for 32 vehicles.
