Church Court East Apartments, a 24-unit apartment complex forty minutes south of Memphis, will provide affordable housing for low-income residents for at least the next 15 years. A loan from Partners for the Common Good and Southern Bancorp secured financing for the project as part of a Low Income Housing Tax Credit multifamily construction loan.
