PILOT Approved for 22-Unit Affordable Housing on Trinity Lane

Trinity Community Housing, a 22-unit affordable apartment project at 204 E Trinity Lane, won Metro Council approval of a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement on September 1, 2026 (Resolution RS2026-2234). Trinity Community Commons is developing the project, with design by Dryden Studio. Completion is expected in fall 2027.

All 22 units will be restricted to households earning 60 percent or less of Area Median Income using income averaging. The property will operate as a LIHTC project under the PILOT agreement. It will also include Permanent Supportive Housing for families in partnership with Safe Haven Family Shelter.

The site was formerly home to Trinity United Methodist Church, whose sanctuary was damaged by fire in 2021. The congregation deeded the property to Trinity Community Commons in 2022. Plans call for restoring the historic sanctuary as a gathering space, plus a community resource and food hub, community kitchen and garden, and a green space courtyard. A zoning provision for faith-based properties enabled the project, and much of the funding comes from community support and donations.
