A Supportive Housing Facility for People with Disabilities

Building on the success of its Deerwood Crossing facility, Jewish Family Services began exploring the potential for a specialized supportive housing facility for individuals and families with children with physical and cognitive disabilities. General Capital worked with JFS and Movin’ Out to identify an appropriate site, program the building and seek appropriate partnerships for both financing and operating the facility. General Capital applied for, and successfully obtained, an allocation of Section 42 tax credits to produce equity for the project.

Bradley Crossing contains 60 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments with numerous community amenities. In addition, the property will house outreach offices and therapy rooms for Jewish Family Services as well as a 6,000 square foot community center leased to the Village of Brown Deer for its senior meal program and recreation department programs and activities.
