Applications opened Monday for the 100% affordable, 87-unit Maudelle Shirek Community building currently under construction near Ashby BART in South Berkeley. The project is a key piece of affordable housing construction in the Adeline Corridor and will one day be kitty-corner to 1,200 homes and a new plaza planned at the current Ashby BART parking lot. Resources for Community Development says the projected opening date will come this spring.
