Health care giant invests nearly $8M in affordable housing project

TAMPA — CVS Health is investing in an affordable housing project in Tampa.

The health care giant announced it is putting $7.7 million toward a 61-unit complex on North 12th Street, just north of E. Fletcher Avenue. The money will be invested with the Raymond James Tax Credits Funds, according to a statement. 

The development, Uptown Sky, will include two- and three-bedroom units at reduced rents for families who can show a financial need. In addition to the residences, the development will include a neighborhood center offering services like computer and workforce training and classroom space for dance, art, yoga and other classes that "encourage healthy habits."
