Cinnaire In Action

Dwelling Place, a nonprofit, affordable housing developer, had a vision to bring new life and opportunities to downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. With support from Cinnaire, through the allocation of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and Federal Historic Tax Credits, this vision was brought to fruition.

In 2013, the former historic Hotel Herkimer opened its doors to provide newly renovated, permanent supportive housing for homeless, or near-homeless, individuals and/or persons with disabilities. The renovated structure retained the brick exterior, vaulted ceilings, hand-carved banisters, classic woodwork, two-story atriums, and skylights, while providing modern conveniences for residents of Herkimer Apartments.
