The SOUL LIVES in THE CITY campaign is an effort to provide quality affordable housing to current residents of District 5 and to encourage former residents to come back to the community. The Carrie Meek Foundation, with the support of District 5 Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones and in partnership with The Liberty City Trust, will pre-qualify potential residents for these new facilities, and provide the housing and credit counseling necessary to prepare residents to take advantage of these opportunities. Filling out this pre-application does not guarantee you housing in one of these facilities but it is an important first step toward claiming your spot in line.

These apartments are specifically for low and very low income families and senior citizens. Each apartment has occupancy limits as well as minimum and maximum income requirements, depending on the size of the apartment.

All residents' income must be at or below 60% AMI (Area Median Income), for example a family of four must earn $33,540 or less. A portion of the units have been set aside for residents having an income at 33% AMI or below. At 33% AMI, a family of four must earn $18,447 or less.
