This development involves the rehabilitation of a historic hospital in the town of Jefferson providing affordable housing for the elderly and disabled. The site is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The hospital is to be completely renewed to include 19 senior apartments, a community meeting room with kitchen, craft room, computer room, library, and office space. A new construction building behind the school echoing historic features and containing 27 additional dwelling units has been added. Laundry facilities are in the historic building as well as space for tenant-supplied washers and dryers within each dwelling unit. Wide hallways, tall ceilings, and large windows remind the visitor of great public spaces of the past.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
