Welcome
About Heiwa TerraceHeiwa Terrace is a 12-story apartment building
with 201 units, providing federally subsidized hous-ing for seniors and those who require wheelchairaccessible housing. Owned and operated by theJapanese American Service Committee HousingCorporation, a not-for-profit organization, HeiwaTerrace is located at 920 W. Lawrence, Chicago. Itslovely Japanese garden is a notable landmark thatadorns the northeast corner of Sheridan Road andLawrence Avenue.
In the 1970s, the Japanese American ServiceCommittee (JASC), the Midwest’s oldest AsianAmerican social-services agency, identified thegrowing need for affordable housing to serve itscommunity’s aging population. Naming the project“heiwa,” the Japanese word for peace, JASC spear-headed the development of Heiwa Terrace, with
construction financed through theUnited States Department ofHousing and Urban Development.HUD continues to provide rentalassistance. Eligibility for residencyat Heiwa Terrace is governed by
HUD rules and regulations that restrict occupancyto seniors 62 and older. Those who require wheel-chair-accessible housing must be 18 and older.Income restrictions mandate 40% occupancy byresidents whose annual adjusted gross income isclassified as “extremely low income.”
Heiwa Terrace strictly observes open housinglaws that prohibit discrimination because of race,religion or national origin. It has a diverse occupan-cy including all races and many different cultures.It is one of a few subsidized housing facilities spon-sored by Asian Americans in Chicago and the onlyone built by the Japanese American community.
