About $2.3 million in federal grant funds announced Friday will enable construction to begin next spring of a 12-unit supportive housing apartment complex for people with disabilities.

The complex would be built on a vacant parcel at 432 Jefferson Ave., next to New London High School and the adjacent Science and Technology Magnet School of Southeastern Connecticut. It will have five one-bedroom units and seven two- and three-bedroom units for families, said Beth Hogan, project developer for The Connection Fund, the nonprofit affordable housing developer that will build and operate the apartment building.
