What We Know: A new affordable housing project in north Springfield will help young adults making the transition out of foster care.
What It Means: Good Samaritan Boys Ranch is partnering with Cherryvale Development to build Millstone Flats, a 48-unit apartment complex.
Eight units will be reserved for young adults leaving foster care, giving them a chance to save money, build rental history, and learn to live independently.
The Boys Ranch will also provide financial and emotional support.
A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for today at 1 p.m. at 3299 North Vernon Avenue, just north of I-44.
