Legacy House

In 2017, a condemned building, dubbed the Legacy House, became property of Eco3 with the intention of being redeveloped into affordable housing for VISTA members. The building originally was home to a haberdashery owned by two women. This project simultaneously addresses multiple community and Eco3 VISTA program challenges by increasing the availability of affordable accessible housing, removing financial barriers to participating in national service due to housing cost and availability, and reducing blight in the Lincoln Park neighborhood.

The housing will be available in 2025 - in time for the new cohort for AmeriCorps VISTA members.
