We’re excited to share the latest real estate & development news from ICCF Community Homes as we pursue equitable opportunity, affordable homes, and thriving neighborhoods.

THE SEYMOUR

The Seymour will create 27 condo units in the Alger Heights neighborhood at the site of the former Seymour Christian School. We are grateful to have secured over $3 million in grants to help move this redevelopment forward and have an additional $5 million in grant requests under review.

We recently celebrated the sale of the 18th home through the Community Homes Land Trust. We anticipate adding 6 newly constructed single-family homes to the Land Trust this fall.
