Demonstrators gathered at a 2019 rally protesting Metro s impounding of the Barnes FundPhoto: Matt Masters Councilmember Colby Sledge says he has never seen anything like it before: A developer has returned a grant that would have helped build affordable housing.
Pathway Lending returned a nearly $1.7 million Barnes Housing Trust Fund award that would have helped build The Rosemary, a complex with 80 units of affordable housing for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with 60 of those apartments specifically slated for seniors. The project was a collaboration with Friends Life Community, an organization that provides programming and services for teens and adults with developmental disabilities.
