My administration is investing in affordable housing that serves our most vulnerable neighbors, working families, and residents across a wide range of incomes in every Providence community. I'm excited to share that our latest investment through the Providence Housing Trust Fund will create 216 new apartments across three developments:

🏠 The Willard: 160 homes
🏠 Wunnáunt Apartments: 12 homes
🏠 327 Elmwood PVD: 44 homes

From deeply affordable units to homes for working families, these investments will expand housing options in neighborhoods across Providence and help more neighbors access high quality, affordable housing.
