YOUNGSTOWN — The YWCA plans to install 30 low-income housing units in the top floors of its Rayen Avenue building.

But the agency still has a few hurdles to clear before the $4.5 million project is feasible, said its executive director, Constance Shaffer.

The YWCA is seeking a federal tax credit to finance the housing effort. Phase 2 of the application process will require the organization to seek city council support. Local representatives will begin reviewing plans Wednesday.
