Housing nonprofit Project for Pride in Living is leading the Lake Street project that combines affordable rentals with space for businesses owned by people of color and a new Wells Fargo branch.

A much-lauded $66 million complex with much-needed affordable housing, a park and business hub is finally being built on the site of the Wells Fargo branch that rioters set on fire in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd.
