areas.The cottages are designed to be cost-effective and subsidized through partnerships with local jurisdictions or land donations. In Mill City, MCHA is developing 20 one-bedroom cottages for seniors using modular homes built off-site. Icenbice highlights that working with a modular developer could significantly shorten the construction process and reduce costs. Additionally, MCHA is partnering with private developers to create affordable housing units by leveraging property tax abatements. Collaboration is necessary in rural areas where development can be more challenging due to the lack of infrastructure and higher costs. One such partnership is the development of 54 units in Mill City, specifically for wildfire survivors—a project that would not have been possible without the involvement of MCHA. 5 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 09 THE MARION COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY
