Woda Cooper Companies was pleased to learn late this week that Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) will allocate federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits to three affordable housing communities we plan to develop. This exciting news will support the development of:
Edison Crossing, a 30-unit multifamily in Mt. Clemens, located the northern Metro Detroit area;
Ruth Park, a 58-unit multifamily in Traverse City; and
Woodward Way, 49-unit multifamily in Meridian Township near East Lansing.
Congratulations to our Michigan team! #AffordableHousing #Michigan #wodacooper #LIHTC
From the Woda Cooper history files: In 2008, Braddock’s Greene was the first Woda Cooper development in Maryland to be allocated LIHTCs by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. The Frostburg, MD, community provides 50 cottage rental homes for seniors age 62 and older.
Thank you to MDHCD for supporting Braddock’s Greene and the 15 other communities in our Maryland portfolio, located in Baltimore City and many other communities across the state. Our latest LIHTC-funded development is 54-unit seniors community Millersview Crossing in Anne Arundel County, set to start construction in 2021. #Honoring30Years
Nice to be noticed as a leader in affordable housing with Prospect Yard in this story about need for more workforce housing in downtown Cleveland. The $12 million restoration at the former Stuyvesant Motor Company utilized federal rehabilitation tax credits allocated through the National Park Service and state historic preservation tax credits through the Ohio Development Services Agency. The project also received Low-Income Housing Tax Credits allocated by Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA). CREA, LLC invested in the LIHTCs and the federal historic credits to create equity. OHFA also provided a bridge loan and permanent debt funding and the City of Cleveland contributed the HOME loan. Key Bank provided the construction loan.

Our team is awesome! Last year Woda Cooper Companies’ managers at Brookside Commons in Traverse City enlisted the Northwest Michigan Food Coalition and Goodwill Food Rescue to create a food pantry for residents in need of groceries. Every week the community receives meat, breads, dairy, produce, and packaged meals from local stores including Costco, Tom’s, Sam’s Club, and Meijer. They have also joined the “Farm2Neighbor” program so residents receive fresh and locally-grown produce. Brookside's office staff has taken the lead in distributing the food to residents who want to participate - so far there have been 2,586 orders filled! Together with these great programs food insecurity is being addressed in a positive way at Woda Cooper's Brookside Commons. Great job! #endfoodinsecurity #affordablehousing #traversecitymichigan #workingtogether
"Today we are giving enough food for 600 families. We have meat, vegetables, fruit, dry perishables, masks, hand sanitizer, the necessities that are needed."
That's the word from Woda Cooper Companies' Community Manager Wanda Ferguson when Norfolk's 13News Now - WVEC crew turned up at the Mobile Food Pantry that she and other Woda Cooper team members, residents, and volunteers organized. The event brought much-needed food and supplies to area families and we heard cars were lined up for blocks!
We are always so impressed when our team members see a problem and work to solve it - we know many of our Community Managers keep pantries stocked onsite for residents who face difficulty accessing groceries and supplies, especially during the pandemic. Hats off to all of you!

Proposed 43-unit senior housing facility on West Side clears first hurdles
The year 2008 was definitely a big year in Woda Cooper history, adding Maryland, South Carolina, and Indiana to our footprint. We were able to build Brentwood Greene, a 50-unit senior community in Kokomo, IN, after the allocation of LIHTCs from Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority. Since then, we’ve expanded to 16 developments in the Hoosier State, including our latest new construction developments Proctor Place in Indianapolis and Harper's Crossing in Plainfield. We are also rehabilitating ten USDA projects through the IHCDA Moving Forward program. Thank you, IHCDA!
More from the Woda Cooper history vault - our footprint expanded to South Carolina in 2008 (along with Maryland and Indiana). We were allocated credits by the South Carolina State Housing Finance and Development Authority to build Crowfield Greene, a 42-unit senior cottage community in Goose Creek, and Jenny Greene, a 50-unit multifamily in Hardeeville. Those marked the start for the 10 fantastic affordable developments we now operate in South Carolina, as well as several more in the pipeline. Thank you, SC Housing!

Bravo to Woda Cooper employees supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night fundraiser again this year! Last year several teams raised $32,000 through a number of inventive activities like a pie-in-the-face challenge, "fun razor" dare, bake sales, basket raffles, a corn hole tournament, tacos days, happy hours, food trucks, root beer floats, cookouts, waffle bars, jeans days, karaoke contests, and more.
Despite the pandemic's impact this year, there's been a good effort at planning events that fit social distancing measures and encourage employees to engage.
This week an online raffle with excellent prizes will conclude Friday! https://pages.lls.org/ltn/coh/cntlohio20/wodacoopercompanies
Next Thursday there will be a trivia contest that's open to friends and family, followed by a pumpkin decorating contest sometime around Halloween. So glad to see the giving spirit at work!

To our residents, employees, families, and all who help us in our mission to create affordable housing, thank you!
In a spirit of giving thanks, we praise the Driven Foundation for your efforts to deliver a more joyful and plentiful Thanksgiving for 24 families in need in the Columbus area. Woda Cooper was happy to sponsor the catered meals including ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, pumpkin and apple pies, pumpkin bread and dinner rolls!
Driven Foundation's Executive Director Roy Hall led staff and volunteers who delivered the meals today. Everything was pre-cooked and ready to heat and serve. And there was enough food for families to have plenty of leftovers, said organizer Josselyn Timko, the foundation's Community Outreach Director.
The Driven Foundation is committed to serving and enhancing the community through family and youth focused outreach events, programs, and services. What a great program!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
As we look back at our company history, we are honored to celebrate Virginia. City View Place in Richmond received LIHTC from Virginia Housing in 2010, marking our first affordable community developed in the Commonwealth. Today, the 32-unit multifamily is one of 11 communities we operate or now have in development in Virginia, totaling 608 units. Thank you, Virginia Housing, for your support to help make this happen! #Honoring30Years
It has been nice to look back at Woda Cooper's development history during our 30th anniversary year. Today we focus on Tennessee where in 2010 the Tennessee Housing Development Agency allocated LIHTCs to Sterling Greene, a 48-unit multifamily in Fayetteville. Sterling Greene is shown in the top photo below. We now operate 13 affordable communities across the Volunteer State, including our newest Douglas Greene, in Sevier County.

More from Woda Cooper history -- Harmony Greene in Pooler, GA, represents the first LIHTC credit allocation we were awarded from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. That allocation in 2011 supported the financing for the 50-unit multifamily that offers 2, 3, and 4-BR townhomes. Prior to Harmony Greene, we were also involved in the development of Sustainable Fellwood II and III in Savannah. We now have 9 communities across Georgia under construction or in operation, including our most recent, Adair Court, a 91-unit mixed-income community in Atlanta. Thank you, Georgia DCA!
The Badger State was the 14th state in Woda Cooper’s portfolio with the acquisition rehabilitation of Fairview Heights, a 16-unit senior community in Mineral Point. The 2017 rehabilitation included major energy efficiency improvements, along with new accessibility features and an attractive update to its appearance. In total, we have four communities in Wisconsin that have been or are in the process of rehabilitation. Thank you, Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, for allocating tax credits to help make this happen! #Honoring30Years
Our company's development history expanded to Illinois in 2017 with an allocation of credits from the Illinois Housing Development Authority for the purchase and acquisition rehabilitation of Westridge Apartments in Mendota. A similar award followed in 2019 for Waterman Gardens in Waterman. We thank IHDA for seeing the need to preserve and revitalize aging affordable housing. Now we are expanding our portfolio in the Land of Lincoln with construction developments McKay Manor in Breese and Parker Glen in Champaign. #Honoring30Years
Iowa was added to Woda Cooper Companies' history in 2018 when the Iowa Finance Authority awarded LIHTCs to Anderson Greene in Cedar Rapids. The new 44-unit mixed income multifamily community opened last fall and will be joined in late 2021 by the adjacent Anderson Greene II, a mixed-income 48-unit multifamily. Next up are Chandler Pointe in Wilton, Johnston Crossing in Johnston, and Williams Terrace in Indianola. Thank you, Iowa Finance Authority, for your support in bringing more affordable housing to Iowa. #honoring30years

Woda Cooper Santa has been dealing with social distancing challenges like the rest of us but the gift-giving goes on.

Today is the funeral for one of our heroes, the affordable housing champion George Banks of the Berkley neighborhood in Norfolk, VA. Mr. Banks passed away December 26, 2020, at age 88.
Mr. Banks spent his life advocating for and serving Berkley residents by working to improve housing conditions in the community. In the early 1970s he led the Beacon Light Civic League in obtaining a HUD loan to develop Bell Diamond Manor, the 128-unit affordable townhome and apartment community. It was a rare feat for a community housing authority. Maintaining the large community became challenging over the years and when a partner was needed to help revitalize the community, Mr. Banks drew us in to help rehabilitate the community which we now own and operate with the civic league.
We were thrilled to name The Banks at Berkley in honor of his service to the community. During remarks at the 2017 Grand Opening of the 50-unit affordable community we built in Berkley, Mr. Banks gently urged the audience of 200 family members, neighbors, community/business leaders, as well as government officials, to strive to serve others. “When you live in a community, and if you can give some time and effort, and you have know-how, then you should put that effort in your community,” urged Mr. Banks.
We will miss him. His family and friends will be in our thoughts as they remember him today at the 2 PM (eastern) service which will be streamed online. Read more:

As we close 2020 we extend a hearty thanks to our residents, employees, and partners who help us in our mission to expand and revitalize affordable housing in what will soon be a 16-state footprint. Just before the holidays we were honored to learn that Minnesota Housing awarded #LIHTCs to Shelby Commons, a 46-unit affordable multifamily to be built in the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis. We are grateful for the partnership with our co-developer Project for Pride in Living who will provide support services. Shelby Commons will be our first in Minnesota and we look forward to starting construction. #Honoring30Years #partnerships #AffordableHousing #OurNextChapter.

We asked a number of our senior residents to describe what it it is like to find a comfortable home in one of our our affordable communities. They include those who live in apartments adapted from restored historic buildings, such as Kreider Commons in Lebanon, PA; to newer mid-rise buildings such as Fairwood Commons, our Passive House-design in Columbus, Ohio; and condominium style communities like Breas Crossing in Shelbyville, Kentucky. Residents relate their experiences at how easy it is to make friends among their neighbors, getting around their communities without difficulty, the health benefits of excellent air quality, and the value of onsite management and maintenance services.

We asked a number of our senior residents to describe what it it is like to find a comfortable home in one of our our affordable communities. They include those who live in apartments adapted from restored historic buildings, such as Kreider Commons in Lebanon, PA; to newer mid-rise buildings such as Fairwood Commons, our Passive House-design in Columbus, Ohio; and condominium style communities like Breas Crossing in Shelbyville, Kentucky. Residents relate their experiences at how easy it is to make friends among their neighbors, getting around their communities without difficulty, the health benefits of excellent air quality, and the value of onsite management and maintenance services. We hope you enjoy watching this new video produced by Ramble Pictures. #Seniors #AffordableHousing

The National Association of Home Builders recognizes top affordable housing properties annually in its Multifamily Pillars of the Industry Awards and this year we were honored to learn that Prospect Yard in Cleveland was a finalist for Best Adaptive Reuse. We adapted the 1917 Stuyvesant Motor Company building to create Prospect Yard, a 42 affordable loft style apartment community. We thank the City of Cleveland for support, including a low-interest HOME loan to help make it happen. Prospect Yard benefited through federal historic credits through the National Park Service, state historic tax credits via Ohio Development Services Agency, as well as housing tax credits and a loan from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency. Thank you to CREA, LLC for investing in the tax credits and to Key Bank for a construction loan. Also to Perpectus Architecture for the design work.

It is LEED Gold for Osborn Commons, a first in The Soo! Not only did this community bring much-needed affordable and market rate housing to downtown Sault Ste. Marie, it ended ended a neighborhood food desert with the inclusion of the large convenience store Market on Osborn on the ground level. We even put in a service window so residents can shop without having to go outside. There's also a 4th floor terrace that gives residents a private observation deck of the world famous Soo Locks.
Thanks to the City of Sault Ste. Marie, MI, Michigan State Housing Development Authority for support and to our investor CREA, LLC and lenders Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust and Merchants Capital Congratulations to all of the team that made this happen! We will hold a ribbon-cutting later this spring. #AffordableHousing #MixedIncome #TheSoo #Michigan
