On August 27th, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress and CHN Housing Partners hosted a joint ribbon-cutting and ground-breaking ceremony at Britt Oval, a public amenity located on the Saint Luke’s Campus. The community celebration was held to commemorate Neighborhood Progress’ completion of Britt Oval’s renovation (centered on the new KeyBank Events Stage); CHN’s commencement of construction on 27 new units of LIHTC housing; and KeyBank’s Comprehensive Community Development Program in Buckeye and Glenville, which is orchestrated by Neighborhood Progress and administered by Burten Bell Carr Development and Famicos Foundation. President & CEO Joel Ratner of Neighborhood Progress and Executive Director Kevin Nowak of CHN offered remarks alongside a panel of philanthropists and community representatives that included KeyBank’s Head of Corporate Responsibility & Community Relations Don Graves, Ohio State Senator Sandra Williams, Cleveland City Councilman Blaine Griffin, and Ohio Housing Finance Agency Director of Legislative Affairs Guy Ford.
