In 1996, The Human Services Council and concerned neighbors decided to rehabilitate and revitalize the building to house Norwalk area homeless and imminently homeless in need of safe affordable housing and supportive services. Consisting of 44 single occupancy units, 40 South Main Street provides residents with the dignity and responsibility that stable housing provides. Today, 40 South Main Street advances the economic and community development of the South Norwalk neighborhood, contributing to its vitality and growth.

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
