Projects Currently Under Development
Gideon Homes: Greystone Living Along Historic Douglas Boulevard In August of 2006 LCDC began construction of our first “Gideon Home”. Located in 9 turn-of-the-century greystone buildings, the Gideon Homes project consists of a mix of Owner Occupied Two-Flats, and Condominiums. Located on, or on blocks adjacent to, Douglas Boulevard, these newly renovated homes represent affordable ownership in stately Chicago architecture on one of its historic boulevards. For information regarding owning a Gideon Home of your own, or to see a model unit please contact: Lynette Hutcherson at Simply Modern Real Estate - (708) 332-9168.

Fountain View Apartments
In July of 2006 LCDC, in partnership with Safeway Construction, began the restoration of Fountain View Apartments.

Hardwood floors, air conditioning, compter access with Internet access, and laundry are among the many amenities that are offered to residents. Fulfilling LCDC’s mission for affordable housing, 31% of the units are reserved for former CHA residents, 58% are designated for low and very low income residents, and 11% are market rate.
