When the opportunity arose to buy and preserve the historic Royal Arcanum building, we grabbed it. The Board is thrilled.” Part of the NF ownership plan is to sublease the five apartments on the second floor to the Foundation for Norfolk Living (FNL), a provider of affordable housing in Norfolk. The purchase was made possible by the William and Mary Greve Foundation, which provided a grant to the foundation for the purchase of the building.
