HOME Rental Development
Case Study
A Kansas grandmother raised her family in Valley Falls, a small community in rural Jefferson County. After retirement, a lack of housing options for seniors meant that she and many longtime residents like her, were forced to relocate to larger communities. All that changed when Community Housing of Wyandotte County partnered with Mesner Development to establish Delaware Place, a complex for seniors and families. When the seven duplexes opened, she was among the first residents. She notes the proximity to family, accessible layout, and friendly atmosphere as the best features of her new home. KHRC collaborated with developers, local governments, and housing organizations to develop the quality, affordable housing for seniors.
