COGIC to bring new affordable housing units to downtown Memphis

20 new affordable housing units are coming to downtown Memphis. The Church of God in Christ held a dedication and groundbreaking ceremony for the new project Tuesday morning.

A few years ago, the COGIC organization added 77 units as part of the Mason Homes. Now, the denomination plans to add 20 homes to the Pontotoc Avenue development it owns, which currently has 81 units.
