A nonprofit affordable housing developer will add nearly four dozen units to the suburban supply with a new Glen Ellyn apartment building designed by the same architect as the town’s public library.
On the heels of Glen Ellyn trustees approving those plans, DuPage County officials have outlined how they could encourage similar projects and promote more affordable housing throughout the county.
Some ideas under consideration include creating a land bank and establishing an affordable housing trust fund.
“We think that it will be two really major tools in the toolbox for expanding housing opportunities in DuPage County,” said Colby Sledge, local policy principal at Grounded Solutions Network, the county’s consultants.
