Beacon Landing is a 54-unit supportive affordable housing development in the city, developed through a partnership between Wesley Housing and the Lamb Center. The project received $700,000 in gap financing from the city's Housing Trust Fund in February 2023—a critical investment that enabled the project to secure 23 separate financing sources, including Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC).
