New apartments opened west of Corktown Thursday with 40 units of affordable housing.

Why it matters: Campbell Street Apartments are reserved for low-income households earning 30% of the area median income or less.

What they're saying: "We continue to gain safe, affordable housing to retain our Detroiters and bring new ones in," Melia Howard, deputy mayor, said in a statement.

State of play: MiSide Community Impact Network is the building's part-owner and developer. The project was completed with Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, $14.6 million in financing from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority and a $1 million grant from the state's Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy.

What's next: Another development with 32 units, Wesson Apartments, is expected to open on the same Michigan Avenue block in less than two years.
