Avalon awarded tax credits for Hilltop View Apartments

Avalon has received a conditional award of tax credits for from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority for Hilltop View Apartments, a new 24-unit property in Dexter. Hilltop View will be a collaborative venture between Avalon and Faith in Action, the organization that has been working for the past 40 years to alleviate the effects of hunger and poverty in the Chelsea and Dexter areas.

Says Aubrey Patiño, Avalon’s Executive Director, “Like elsewhere in Washtenaw County, Dexter citizens are struggling with a lack of affordable housing and in some cases, homelessness. We’re excited to partner with Faith in Action on this property. We believe that every one of our neighbors deserves a permanent home. We’ll continue to advocate for those who need help in our community.”

Faith in Action and Avalon will host information sessions in Dexter about Hilltop on the following dates:

Thursday February 6, 6:00 pm, at Dexter United Methodist Church, 7643 Huron River Drive
