Located in the heart of Gary’s downtown neighborhood, Genesis Towers is perhaps one of Gary’s most centrally located sites.
Its location within the City provides residents with convenient access to a number of amenities including multiple public and charter schools, several parks, a boys and girls club, a police station, bus stops, and convenient access to the South Shore Rail Line’s Gary Metro commuter rail station.
This property is funded through HUD’s Public Housing program. These properties are typically owned and managed by a Public Housing Authority. These properties tend to be much older, as no new public housing has been built in many years. Since the Federal budget has historically (and notoriously) underfunded public housing renovations for decades, these properties tend to have higher vacancies due to uninhabitable units or liveable units that are in poor condition. In addition, since all public housing properties offer rent subsidies, low-income residents only pay rent based on their incomes. For that reason, these properties tend to have longer waiting lists. Check our public housing waiting list data for more information. Since Genesis Towers Senior High Rise participates in the Public Housing program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.
