Summary
Emory University is renovating two properties near Emory University Hospital Midtown to create over 50 rental apartments for its healthcare employees, aiming to improve staff retention and work-life balance in a competitive job market. The initiative includes restoring one building and partially demolishing another to optimize the site layout while utilizing federal and state tax credits for financial sustainability. By providing affordable housing options close to the workplace, Emory hopes to enhance the overall employee experience and stimulate local economic activity. This project highlights the critical role that housing availability plays in supporting healthcare staffing efforts.
