Ground Broken for New Assisted Living Community
"By investing in senior housing, we are investing in community," Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel noted during the groundbreaking ceremony held on Feb. 26 for The Montclare at Lawndale.  The development of the affordable assisted living community was made possible because of a partnership created between private industry and government at the federal, state and city levels.
Gardant will be managing the community, which will operate through the Illinois Supportive Living Program. The community will be located in Chicago's Lawndale neighborhood and will house 120 private apartments for adults 65 and older who need some help to maintain their independence.
