A photo series commissioned by Avenue CDC, a local economic development group, seeks to show the "face of affordable housing."

Affordable, or subsidized, housing comes with a negative connotation to some. Avenue CDC, which works in developing neighborhoods to protect a mix of incomes in the area, brought in two volunteer photographers to capture real-life residents.

These portraits became part of the group's annual Art on the Avenue silent art auction.
