🖤 1012 new homes for families and individuals across the country through 5 major closings.

💛 2000+ new families joined LDG communities this year!

🖤We launched the LDG Winterwood Apprentice Program and introduced two new professional development courses for our Solidago and Winterwood teams.

💛 Plus, we broke ground on Bezos Academy Louisville – Russell, an initiative that will help future generations thrive.

🖤 LDG and the Louisville Metro Housing Authority are teaming up to redevelop Dosker Manor!

💛 2024 marked LDG’s entry into North Carolina and Ohio with the groundbreaking closings of Sankofa Landing, The Preserve at Gresham Lake, and Emerald Place

OHIO HERE WE COME!

We’re elated to announce the closing of Emerald Place in Lancaster, Ohio — our 5th development of the year and our first step into the Ohio market!

This development will feature 216-units and five garden-style residential buildings and a modern clubhouse/leasing office, offering high-quality, affordable housing for the Lancaster community.

Shout out to our Development Manager, Zac Linsky, on closing his first-ever deal in Ohio—a fantastic achievement!

This milestone would not have been possible without the support of our financial and community partners: the Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) (OHFA); KeyBank Center, with special thanks to Key Community Development Corporation for purchasing the 4% federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and Ohio Low-Income Housing Tax Credits; the Affordable Housing Trust for Columbus and Franklin County, which provided a cashflow loan and equity bridge loan; OHFA's Housing Development Loan (HDL); and the Lancaster Port Authority and City of Lancaster for their collaboration and support.

Emerald Place is a trailblazer as one of the first-ever developments to utilize the new Ohio Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (OLIHTCs), created by Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Legislature in 2023. It is also the largest project to close using this funding source to date!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this project a reality. Stay tuned for more updates!

Happy Holidays from all of us at LDG! 🎄This season, we’re filled with gratitude for our residents, partners, and community who make everything we do possible. May your holidays be warm, bright, and surrounded by joy.

Wow, what a turnout! From joyful photos with Santa to festive crafts and sweet treats, it was a holiday celebration to remember at our Riverstone San Marcos Apartments. A special shoutout to our resident services team for organizing such a magical experience for the community.

Here's to spreading holiday cheer, one smile at a time!🎄

Metro Council has denied rezoning for our proposed housing development off Cooper Chapel Road for the second time. We believe this reflects an ongoing trend to block new apartment projects.

"We have an issue in the city where the only thing worse than a new single-family home subdivision outside the urban services district is an apartment development outside the urban services district," said Michael Gross, our Kentucky development director.

We will not let this stop us from our mission to provide quality housing for all.

The proposed development would have included apartments, single-family homes and townhomes.

When Dave Parks saw the work being done at The Arthur Street Hotel firsthand, he knew he had to be a part of it. In just two years, ASH has helped over 150 people gain access to stable housing—a number that continues to grow every day. For Dave, that kind of impact speaks volumes.

He describes our model as groundbreaking, highlighting the way we focus on every aspect of support, from providing stability to addressing the barriers that keep people from finding housing and hope. Dave reminds us that any contribution helps, whether it’s an hour of your time or just $1 of your money. “What better way is there to help solve the problem than to invest in others that are trying to solve the problem?”

At ASH, we’re proud to create life-changing opportunities, but we can’t do it alone. Every act of generosity adds up to real, lasting change for those we serve.

We are thrilled to announce the closing of the Meribel in Weaverville, N.C.

The Meribel marks our third development in North Carolina and will provide 156 affordable housing units for families earning 30%, 60%, and 80% of the area median income, addressing the critical need for affordable housing in our newest market.

A special congratulations to Development Manager Landon Cox, who has successfully closed three deals in North Carolina in less than two months.

We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to our outstanding financial partners: R4 Capital, PNC, Buncombe County, Carolinas Housing For All, and Asheville Housing Authority—this milestone would not have been possible without your support.

Stay tuned!

We’ve made significant progress on our Sheehan Landing development in partnership with the St. John Center, and we’re excited to share we're on track!

Set to open in spring 2025, this 80-unit development will provide permanent supportive housing for some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

Each resident will have a furnished one-bedroom apartment, along with amenities designed to foster connection and well-being.

We’re proud to see this vision come to life. Stay tuned for more!

When Joel’s tent was set on fire, he nearly lost everything—his clothes, belongings, and personal documents were gone. Most heartbreakingly, his beloved dog, Shelby Lynn, had experienced serious burns requiring intense vet care and a safe place to recover. When Joel was connected to the Arthur Street Hotel, he not only found shelter and the support to reorder an ID and Social Security card, he also received the resources to nurse his dog back to health.

At CARE at ASH, we know pets are more than companions—they’re family. One of the unique aspects of what we offer is allowing hotel guests to keep their pets, understanding that animals often provide the unconditional love and support needed to get through life’s toughest moments. For many, the thought of giving up their pet is a barrier to seeking shelter and services. We’re here to break down that barrier, ensuring people and their pets have a safe space to heal and move forward together.

Today, Joel and Shelby Lynn are on the path to stability, with a renewed sense of hope and the vital documents that open doors to new opportunities.

Your support helps us provide life-changing care for residents like Joel and their furry friends. Visit CareatAsh.org or Venmo us at to make a difference today.

At the Arthur Street Hotel, we’re redefining how individuals transition from homelessness to housing.

It always makes us happy to know that our community partners see the difference we’re making and recognize the innovative model we’ve built. Amanda, from St. John Center, shares how a stay at the Arthur Street Hotel makes the move home easier for someone who has previously lived on the streets. She highlights the impact of our unique approach.

We’re deeply grateful to St. John Center for being such an incredible partner. Their dedication and collaboration are integral to the work we do and our community solution to homelessness.

Congratulations to our EVP of Finance, Lisa Becker, on winning the Kristin
Hulsman Award!

The annual award goes to an employee who consistently demonstrates their commitment to the LDG values by always looking for opportunities to better or make the lives of others easier.

The award honors Kristin Hulsman, an asset manager for Louisiana and
one of LDG Development’s first employees, who passed away in 2022.

Kristin loved her job, and she was always looking for ways to help our
residents and enjoyed nothing more than spending time at our
communities and getting to know the families we serve.

Please join us in congratulating Lisa!

Melony’s Story: A Journey of Hope and Resilience

Life on the streets brought constant challenges for Melony—without a safe place to sleep or leave her belongings so she could seek resources and tackle daily tasks, she faced the stress of not knowing if help would ever come.

The Arthur Street Hotel (CARE at ASH) gave Melony the stability she needed. With assistance for her physical and mental health, connections to vital services, and a hotel room to protect her and her belongings, she was able to rebuild her life.

Today, Melony has transitioned into permanent housing, a testament to her strength and determination. But Melony is just one of thousands in Louisville who need the community to walk alongside them. Each person deserves a chance to find their path, and with your support, we can make that possible.

Your support can help us create more stories like Melony’s. Visit CareatAsh.org to learn how you can make a difference today—or Venmo us at to contribute directly to this life-changing work.
