FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) -- Fort Wayne Housing Authority broke ground on a housing development Tuesday that aims to provide supportive housing for at-risk individuals and adults facing chronic homelessness. The project, named Hillcrest Commons, will demolish the vacant Hillcrest School and provide 24 one-bedroom units that will be subsidized through vouchers from Fort Wayne Housing Authority. Parkview Behavioral Health Institute will also provide "supportive services." "There is a real need for supportive housing in our nation, and Hillcrest Commons will provide a solution for families in our community who need critical wraparound services, which will help reduce cases within our city," said George Guy, CEO and executive director of Fort Wayne Housing Authority. The housing development will also provide a community space with a kitchen, fitness room, meeting rooms and shared laundry facilities. The City of Fort Wayne is one of several partners who is helping Fort Wayne Housing Authority with the project, and Fort Wayne Mayor Sharon Tucker also attended Tuesday's groundbreaking ceremony. Hillcrest Commons will be located at 711 E. Tillman Road.
