Lt. Governor’s Awards For The 2021 Excellence In Affordable Housing
Last week concluded the 2021 Statewide Indiana Housing Conference. Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch held her annual Excellence in Affordable Housing Awards Program. Part of the program is a joint award given by IHCDA and the Indiana Affordable Housing Council to a rural housing development that goes above and beyond to reach members of their community and provide housing for people in a rural area.
Otterbein Commons was the 2021 winner for the Rural Category and is located in Otterbein, Indiana. This rural affordable housing development is a repurposed nursing home building and is the first affordable housing development in town. This edition of 32 units has had a positive impact on the community and continues to do so. Otterbein Commons provides point-to-point transportation, giving residents access to services off-site. They also provide home-delivered meals and utility assistance.
It is a pleasure to work with Otterbein Commons and share some of the great ways they have impacted their community!
