Veterans housing plan for North Hill gains ground
The Human Services Center proposes 37 apartments for homeless veterans on lower North Hill. Mill Street Commons would convert the 217 N. Mill St. Universal Bundle building and the 222 N. Mercer St. Red Cross building behind the former Universal Run dle site to permanent affordable housing. The project, in the Opportunity and Enterprise Zones, aims to tap grants and federal tax credits, with priority for homeless veterans. The 2.5 acre site runs from Mill Street to Mercer Street and Falls to Grant streets, part of a redeveloped East Grant Street corridor.
