HomeSource Breaks Ground on Affordable Senior Housing

HomeSource East Tennessee has begun construction on Willow III, an affordable housing development for senior citizens. Located at 7000 Willow Bend Way, Willow III will offer 60 units for residents aged 62 and older who earn 80% or less of the area's median income.

Phase I of the project is funded by a combination of federal and local sources, including the U.S. Department of Housing and the Knox County government. This development is part of the ongoing effort to provide affordable housing options for seniors in the community.

For more details, visit HomeSource East Tennessee.

Local Businesses - Print Required Federal Posters for Free

The Business Services Team here at the Knoxville American Job Center wanted to share the updated required employer federal posters that must be posted in every place of business. The Tennessee State Department of Labor and Workforce Development no longer provides the all-in-one poster that they did years ago. There are folks out there trying to tell businesses that they have to purchase an all-in-one poster - this is false information. A business may now simply print out the required posters from these links below:
