Zion Woods Groundbreaking

Mayor Shapiro joined local leaders and representatives from Housing Opportunity Development Corporation and Brinshore Development for a groundbreaking ceremony for Zion Woods this week. The 25-unit affordable residential development began as a mission of the Zion Lutheran Evangelical Church to create affordable housing.

Zion Woods will be home to families who work in the area but cannot afford to live in Deerfield and to people living with a disability who will be able to live independently near their support networks. 13 units will be available only to households whose annual incomes do not exceed 50% of the Chicago area median income and 11 units shall be available only to households whose annual incomes do not exceed 60% of the Chicago area median income.
