This project, city officials say, aims to partially repair the broken real estate market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the development of the housing, the South Bend administration has agreed with a non-profit organization to build 92 properties that will be allocated to residents with mixed incomes, creating hope for the right to decent housing for people of all income levels and effectively addressing the city&#8217;s demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Affordable HomeMATTERS Indiana and Intend Indiana are the organizations in charge of developing the new housing project. According to representatives&#8217; statements, the construction of the first houses will be carried out on Blaine Avenue and Harvey Street and will be delivered in approximately five years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To ensure that South Bend residents can access the new project with greater certainty, the homes will be subsidized to make them more affordable and will also have financing through Edge Fund; everything is done with the aim of making people&#8217;s monthly payments much more affordable, says the executive of Intend Indiana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although the sale price of the future homes will not exceed $200,000 for the mid-range house, the sale price is not yet clearly defined, but it is certain that its value will be adjusted, to a greater extent, to the mixed incomes of the population and will depend on the type of property the future buyer wishes to obtain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The organizations participating in the project hope to initially work on the development of these properties, but their fundamental goal is to further address the issue of affordable housing through the use of the remaining lots and vacant and abandoned foreclosed homes that are under the control of the South Bend administration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They also hope to continue providing job offers that help the city&#8217;s economy. Therefore, for the development of this project, the organizations hope, as much as possible, to enter into service contracts with local companies and will even offer them loans so they can start their work, especially to small businesses in South Bend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Available foreclosures:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">South Bend: 150 homes available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\">By El\u00edas DaSilva | 05 de Noviembre de 2024.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To address the problem of the affordable housing crisis that plagues the country, the state of Indiana, specifically the city of South Bend, is developing a new housing initiative that will be aimed at residents with mixed incomes.
