A partnership bewtween the city, WHEDA, Community Development Block Grant, Horizon Development Group and the CDA, the project will provide 50 units of affordable housing for seniors on the city's South Side.

"We've worked hard in recent years to revitalize and strengthen Madison's South Side," Mayor Cieslewicz said. "This is an important piece of those efforts and will provide quality, affordable housing for seniors. I want to thank our partners at WHEDA, the CDA, Horizon Development Group and the Burr Oaks Advisory Committee for their hard work on this project. This continues the South Side renaissance."

"This important project is yet another example of the renaissance taking place on the South Side of Madison," Alder Tim Bruer said. "It has truely been decades in the making, and will give our elders an opportunity for improved quality of life right here on the South Side."

Burr Oaks Senior Apartments is a 1.4 acre development consisting of a newly constructed, three-story elevator-serviced building providing 50 units of affordable housing to senior citizens.

"As chair of the CDA, I am proud to see substandard housing with a history of crime replaced by quality, affordable housing for seniors that live on the City's South Side," CDA Chair Greg Shimanski said. "This project will mean a major improvement in the quality of life for seniors."

"Senior housing has been on our minds since 1996 when the Burr Oaks Neighborhood Association was formed. This is a dream come true," Ruth Ann Mauhs of the Burr Oaks Advisory Committee said.

WHEDA has awarded the project $7 million in affordable housing tax credits.
