Elk Grove is stepping up to the plate with a new housing solution for seniors at risk of homelessness. Adamstown House, a 7-bedroom unit, is set to open its doors soon at a budget-friendly rent of $600 or less. Finally, a place where elderly residents can have stability and a sense of community after years of uncertainty.
The project has been a decade in the making, with Elk Grove’s Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen and Volunteers of America teaming up to bring this vision to life. It’s an inspiring example of how local governments and organizations can work together, ensuring that the older population has a safe place to call home. With amenities designed for comfort, including several bathrooms and communal spaces, the house promises to cater to various needs, particularly for those with disabilities.
But it doesn’t stop there; the community aspect is key. There’s a live-in House Leader to support residents in emergencies and keep the home running smoothly. It goes without saying that giving seniors the chance to thrive and build connections is invaluable as they transition into this new chapter in life. It’s fantastic to see Elk Grove making strides to support its older citizens, proving that sometimes a little love—and a suitable roof—can make all the difference.
