PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 59 units of housing to be built on the southwest corner of 3100 South 3600 West, serving as many as 70 individuals. The project will provide permanent supportive housing for seniors with disabling conditions including those who have been homeless or chronically homeless.

 STAFFING: The Kelly Benson Apartments will initially be staffed 24/7.

 SUPPORTIVE SERVICES: Our goal is to help tenants achieve stability by providing wrap-around services. Supportive services will be provided by Housing Authority staff as well as partnership agreements with local social service providers. On-site case management will help tenants access resources that will allow them to age in place.

 TENANCY: The Kelly Benson Apartments will be made available to tenants who meet program requirements such as income, passing criminal background checks, and paying rent and complying with basic tenancy requirements.

 TIMELINE: The Kelly Benson Apartments began construction in June 2009 and are slated for completion in May 2010.
