Our project team greatly appreciates the feedback we have received from you all over the last year and a half. We presented a report out on how your feedback was taken into consideration and helped change the project design for the better. Don't worry! If you weren't able to attend our meeting back on October 21st, the meeting presentation has been uploaded to our coUrbanize page for your review. Check out the "Information and Plans" section at the bottom of the Info Page.
Over the next few months, our team will be working to finalize the architectural plans and close our financing sources in preparation for construction commencement. The coUrbanize page will be transitioning into archival mode, but if there is additional feedback or questions please reach out to us directly at bsenger@dscdo.org. We especially want to hear about ways you'd like to see us program spaces both within the building and in the exterior green spaces!
We will continue sharing updates with you all via our social networks and platforms. You can sign up for the NNCDC Newsletter to stay up to date on this project and other neighborhood news and also follow us on our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
We look forward to sharing updates with you on this exciting project. Stay tuned!

We are excited to announce that Karam Senior Living has received an allocation of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) in the 2021 round!
Now that this important first piece of financing is in place, we can begin applying for additional of funds and plan to break ground in the summer of 2022. We will continue to fine tune the design between now and our Final Application deadline to OHFA on September 23rd, 2021.
Stay tuned for community meetings, in tandem with Cleveland Public Library, starting up later this summer. We will post updates here as well as on our social pages at dscdo.org/connect.

We have also posted additional questions on the feedback page. The Karam Senior Living coUrbanize page will close for comments on March 1, so please submit your feedback ASAP! Remember, if you have comments specifically about the new Cleveland Public Library Walz Branch, you may leave those on their coUrbanize page here.

Thank you all for the insightful input and ideas you’ve shared with us so far. We have received a lot of feedback asking for additional elevations and floor plans in order to understand the project site in relation to the surrounding community.
We have added additional images to the project page. We would love to hear your feedback on these additional images, as we plan to bring feedback to our design team in the upcoming couple of weeks.
Head to the Karam Senior Living project page here and let us know your thoughts!
