With five Green Oaks communities now under construction across the state, Evergreen continues its commitment to expanding affordable senior living options and transforming communities and improving lives.

Affordable housing takes creativity, careful planning and the ability to navigate complex funding programs.

In the latest Illinois Real Estate Journal, Evergreen’s Director of Development, David Block, discusses the challenge of combining public funding tools with different rules. He also explains how adaptive reuse can unlock historic tax credits that help projects compete for limited resources.

We are proud to see David sharing his expertise and contributing to this important conversation.

Last week, a powerful storm swept through Northwest Indiana, causing widespread damage and leaving much of Lake County without power. At Linden House of Hobart, residents were left without elevator service, hallway lighting, and a way to cook meals.

In the days that followed, Social Service Coordinator Brianne McConnachie stepped up to make sure residents had the support they needed. She conducted wellness checks, especially for those unable to leave their apartments or without family nearby to assist them.

Brianne also connected with the Community Center of Hobart and the Maria Reiner Senior Center, who generously provided meals and food for our residents.

We’re grateful for Brianne’s care and dedication, and for our community partners who came together to support Linden House when it mattered most. 💚

This is what community looks like.

As families prepare for a new school year, we’re proud to see our communities coming together to support the students and families who call Evergreen home.

From providing backpacks and school supplies to sharing meals, fun activities, and resources, these back to school events are about so much more than getting ready for the first day of class. They’re about building connections, celebrating our families, and helping every child start the school year with confidence.

At Evergreen, we believe our role goes beyond providing housing. We’re committed to creating opportunities, strengthening communities, and making a lasting difference in the lives of our residents.

Here’s to a safe, successful, and exciting school year ahead!

We’re proud to see communities like The Moorings creating opportunities that empower residents and support brighter futures.
