BEDS Plus Withdraws Alsip Housing Proposal Amid Community Concerns
BEDS Plus, a nonprofit organization focused on housing for chronically homeless individuals, has withdrawn its proposal for a 50-unit supportive housing complex in Alsip, Illinois. The decision follows community feedback during a public hearing, where concerns were raised about parking and the density of the proposed development. The organization plans to revise its proposal to address these issues, potentially reducing the number of units and increasing parking spaces. The original plan was to construct two three-story buildings on a site previously owned by a church, chosen for its proximity to public transportation and job opportunities.
