We wanted to rethink and expand what affordable living means for our community, and we\u2019re incredibly inspired by the enthusiasm and excitement we\u2019ve seen so far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each year, the Indiana Housing Conference recognizes outstanding individuals and organizations whose work strengthens communities and expands access to safe, quality, and affordable housing across our state.<\/p>\n<p>The Council praised The Elex in how it redefines urban accessible and affordable housing, with the initial success of the development proving that affordable communities can be delivered with the same design quality, amenity access, and service coordination as premier market rate housing\u2014and that downtown revitalization can remain inclusive, connected, and accessible to residents who might otherwise be priced out of opportunity-rich areas.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_133911\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-133911\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tElex-417-2BR-09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tElex-417-2BR-09.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tElex-417-2BR-09-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tElex-417-2BR-09-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tElex-417-2BR-09-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tElex-417-2BR-09-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/tElex-417-2BR-09-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-133911\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Interior of an apartment in Building B of The Elex at Electric Works.
