Plans have been unveiled to construct 120 affordable housing units in Atlanta's English Avenue neighborhood.
Why it matters: The project would help ensure lower-income residents can stay in the neighborhood they've called home for decades amid rising housing costs.
Driving the news: North+Oliver is the largest new residential development in English Avenue in a generation, according to the Westside Future Fund, a community revitalization nonprofit.
The site at Oliver Street north of North Avenue, which spans more than four acres, was previously home to a blighted apartment complex that WFF demolished last year.
Zoom in: According to WFF, the units will be reserved for households that make 30% to 70% of the area median income.
For a four-person household, the income range would be $34,260 to $79,940.
