A low-income rental community named Cumberland Cottages is being proposed for an area at Cumberland Road and 141st Street.  The development from HAND, a Hamilton County nonprofit organization specializing in constructing such projects, describes the project as a rental community consisting of individual buildings resembling cottages.

Although anyone qualifying would be able to apply as residents, it is targeted at single parents working in jobs such as the restaurant industry.

The council gave the plans first reading.  It will no head to the Fishers Plan Commission for a public hearing and advisory vote before returning to the city council.
