From idea to impact. Zion Woods began as a community vision in Deerfield and is now a 25‑unit affordable housing development. It opened in June 2025 and offers families and individuals a welcoming place to call home.
September brought a full slate of events, celebrations, and collaboration across Illinois, all advancing the work that helps more residents find a place to call home. Each step supports our commitment to financing and preserving affordable housing across the state.
Some things are fun to keep around for the nostalgia. Your smoke alarm isn't one of them.
