South Bend Expands Financial Support for Affordable Housing Project
Published on 2025 by WNDU
Enhancing Affordable Housing
The city of South Bend, Indiana, has agreed to boost its financial commitment to a new affordable housing development on Monroe Street. This initiative aims to revitalize the area by providing more housing options.
Project Overview
Dubbed “The Monreaux,” this promising neighborhood initiative is spearheaded by Devereaux Peters, a former standout player for the Notre Dame women’s basketball team. The site is strategically located at the intersection of Monroe and Michigan Street, a former site of the Fat Daddy’s building.
Financial Support and Development Details
Recent reports from our partners at The South Bend Tribune indicate that the city’s redevelopment commission has approved an additional $1 million in funding for the project. This financial support comes as the number of planned apartments has been revised from 60 to 57 due to rising material costs.
Construction Timeline
The anticipated timeline for the construction phase is set to commence as early as July, marking a significant step toward enhancing housing availability in the region.
