Workforce Housing lies between Affordable Housing and Market Rate Housing on the housing spectrum. This type of housing is crucial in regions burdened by high rent costs and soaring occupancy rates, addressing a specific need facing middle-income families. Developing Workforce Housing requires creativity and commitment from both public and private funding sources working together. As an owner and developer of Affordable Housing, Senior Living, and now Workforce Housing, Wallick looks forward to entering a space that supports an ongoing need in many regions. Check out the infographic below to learn more about Workforce Housing and its impact on our communities.

🌟 This week, Wallick Senior Living spotlights Katie Hale, a housekeeping team member at our Oakleaf Village and The Grove communities in Columbus, OH. Katie joined Wallick two years ago. She begins her days with optimism and takes pride in “putting a priceless smile on someone’s face to help them through their day.” In her own words: “I love helping people. I love waking up in the morning, knowing that I have the chance to help someone in need.” Katie’s favorite activities hosted by Oakleaf Village and The Grove include musical singalongs and guest music groups. Outside of work, she enjoys playing with her cats. Thank you for being a light in our residents’ lives, Katie! #WallickSeniorLiving #careers #Columbus

We are thrilled to introduce Corners Crossing, Wallick’s inaugural Workforce Housing development. Corners Crossing will be a 192-unit community in Traverse City, Michigan. The financing for Corners Crossing officially closed on Friday, June 28, 2024. In 2022, initial development efforts for Corners Crossing began. As we prepare to break ground this year, we are grateful for the support of key project partners: ➡️ Grand Traverse County awarded Wallick $1.5 million at the close of 2022 before the Michigan State Housing Development Authority’s missing middle funds became available. ➡️ Blair Township granted Wallick a PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes), ensuring real estate taxes for Corners Crossing will never exceed 6% of revenue. This controls our real estate tax payments, so they are more predictable, allowing us to better manage expense loads. ➡️ Wallick partnered with HOMESTRETCH NONPROFIT HOUSING CORPORATION, a like-minded, mission-driven nonprofit developer local to the Traverse City community. Guided by Lead Developers, Michael DiCarlantonio and John Marra, these collective endeavors led Wallick to securing $5 million from the American Rescue Plan (ARPA) federal stimulus program through MSHDA in July 2023. This funding was instrumental in bringing Corners Crossing from conception to reality, addressing the urgent housing needs of Traverse City’s middle-income families. Additional project financing partners include the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Greystone, and Huntington National Bank. We look forward to sharing updates about Corners Crossing as construction progresses.
