Group plans to turn acquired lot into housing
The city council on Monday signed off on selling city-owned property on Harvey Street for it to become affordable housing.
Located at 909 N. Harvey St., near Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School and King Park, the house was sold to Habit for Humanity of Champaign County.
The sale is part of a city goal of “providing decent affordablehousing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households,” according to a city council report.
This development will add onto the 48 single-family homes Habitat has built in Urbana’s King School, Woodland Park and East Water Street neighborhoods.
