Rise Accepts Affordable Housing Champion Award for Emerald Ridge Development
/in Press Releases /by Larry PerlmutterMarch 29, 2016–On behalf of Emerald Ridge, Rise and the Southwestern Illinois Development Authority (SWIDA) accepted the 2016 Wyvetter H.

The event is co-hosted by the Illinois Housing Council and Illinois Housing Development Authority.
Rise Community Development developed Emerald Ridge in partnership with the Southwestern Illinois Development Authority (SWIDA). The grand opening for Emerald Ridge was held on April 20, 2015.

The new single-family homes are affordable to families earning 60% of the Area Median Income, which includes nearly two-thirds of the residents of East Alton.
Every year the Illinois Governor’s Conference on Affordable Housing awards three Affordable Housing Champion Awards for distinguished developments, initiatives or programs in affordable housing. These nominees stand out for their commitment to serving the Annual Comprehensive Housing Plan focus areas and one or more of the State’s Priority Populations, and for having positive impacts on the community in which they are located.
