A Residential Care Apartment Complex for JFS
General Capital was engaged as lead developer for Deerwood Crossing, a 66-unit senior apartment community for Jewish Family Services. JFS hired General Capital to coordinate every aspect of the development process including design, obtaining investor equity, coordinating multiple financing vehicles (including Section 42 tax credits and an AHP grant), bidding and negotiating construction contracts and building the facility itself. The building is a full service Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC) offering a full array of services such as meals, personal care, housekeeping and other services associated with the assisted living program.
Since 1867, Jewish Family Services (JFS) has provided comprehensive social services for the Milwaukee area Jewish and general community. The mission of Jewish Family Services is to provide supportive services that will strengthen families, children and individuals throughout the life cycle within the context of their unique needs and traditions. Deerwood Crossing is an extension of this mission and the first “ground up” development for the organization.
