The People’s Community Development Association of Chicago (PCDAC) and The NHP Foundation (NHPF) are once again joining forces to bring transformative, affordable housing to East Garfield Park. Building on their successful track record, these two organizations continue their shared mission of revitalizing communities and expanding access to high-quality, affordable housing.
Harvest Homes II Apartments, a 50-unit mixed-use affordable housing development, was awarded City of Chicago 9% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) funding in 2023 and represents another step forward in their commitment to creating stable, thriving neighborhoods.
A Modern, Community-Focused Design
This 65,000-square-foot, three-story building will showcase architectural design, blending brick, metal panels, and glass elements. Thoughtfully designed amenities include two elevators, a rooftop deck, and a community room, all enhancing the sense of community and quality of life for residents.
An exciting highlight of the development is the Food Hall, designed to support local food entrepreneurs while offering healthy and affordable dining options—a much-needed resource in a neighborhood with limited sit-down eateries. This initiative will create jobs, empower small businesses, and enrich the culinary landscape of East Garfield Park.
Affordable Housing Opportunity
Harvest Homes II will provide: 19 one-bedroom units, 20 two-bedroom units, and 11 three-bedroom units.
What’s Next?
Stay connected as we move forward with construction, community meetings, celebration events, and leasing opportunities. We look forward to welcoming new residents and continuing our shared investment in the future of East Garfield Park!
