NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- National not-for-profit provider of affordable housing, NHPF announced today it has secured financing to complete a comprehensive rehab of the Edwin C. Berry Manor Apartments, a senior 202, Section 8 property located at 737 E. 69th St. in Chicago that was acquired in 2019.
The $18.3M in financing for the 57-unit property was made possible with support from: $6.5M of Federal LIHTC / NAHT investor, $1.7M of IHDA Housing Trust Fund, $5.8M of a HUD/FHA 221d4 Loan through Merchants Capital and $110K from ComEd Grant.

Operation Pathways, NHPF's Resident Services provider will continue to manage onsite services and programming for residents alongside the property management company, Realty & Mortgage.
The U.S. Census reports that by 2025, the oldest baby boomers will begin turning 80, making the need for senior housing all the more acute. "NHPF recognizes the need for affordable senior housing in Chicago and elsewhere," said Mecky Adnani, Berry Manor lead developer and Sr. Vice President, NHPF, "It is part of our preservation mission to ensure the long-term affordability and viability of properties for older Americans."
Edwin C. Berry Manor Apartments is well-located in an up-and-coming neighborhood that is brimming with new investment, due in part to future construction of the Obama Library. The architect for the project is Weese Langely Weese and the contractor is Burling Builders. Construction on Berry Manor is scheduled to complete in 12 months.
"The preservation of Berry Manor aligns with the goals of the Woodlawn Plan by protecting low income households from displacement and encouraging reinvestment in existing housing," said Dick Burns, CEO, NHPF, "and the work also aligns with the goals of NHPF as we seek to provide much-needed service-enriched affordable housing for singles, families and seniors in the markets we serve.
