The Elias Howe School, a 3 story brick building constructed in the late 1800’s, served as a Bridgeport public grammar school until 2005. The school building is located in the west end of the City, between Fairfield Avenue and State Street. It now serves as senior housing, featuring 37 newly constructed apartments. The floor plan of each unit includes a kitchen and bath, a living room with a dining area and a bedroom. The development also has a recreational room for resident services and programs. All units have Energy Star rated appliances, windows, doors, and insulation.
Project-Based Vouchers
This project has received some funding from a participating jurisdiction (local or state government agency) through the HUD HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME). In projects with five or more HOME-assisted units, at least 20% of these units must be occupied by families earning 50% or less of area median income (AMI). All other HOME-assisted units must be occupied by families earning 80% or less of AMI, but in practice most are reserved for families earning 60% or less AMI. Maximum monthly rent is capped with a Low HOME Rent for <50% AMI units and a High HOME Rent for the remaining HOME-assisted units. Contact the property directly for the specific dollar amount of these rent caps.
