WEST CHESTER, PA — Church Housing Corp., a faith-based not-for-profit that provides housing and supportive services to people with special needs, families, individuals and seniors with modest means, has broken ground on The Melton Center Apartments, a 51-unit affordable housing development in downtown West Chester, Pennsylvania, adjacent to The Charles A. Melton Arts & Education Center.
Located at 500 E. Market St., The Melton Center Apartments will be a mixed-income workforce housing rental community that will cater to families that have members with mobility, hearing and visual impairments.
“There is an increased need for attainable and affordable housing, and the Melton Center’s partnership with Church Housing Corporation not only expands these housing options within our community, but connects people in need with job training and services so they can live with dignity and purpose,” said West Chester Mayor Dianne Herron. “I am grateful to the leadership of the Melton Center for remaining true to the mission of service to its community, while simultaneously strengthening its long-term financial position. This is what hope looks like, and it’s just the beginning of the next 100 years for The Melton Community Center.”
The Melton Center Apartments is being developed in partnership between Church Housing Corp., Melton Center, Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA), finance partners, and The NRP Group, a vertically integrated, best-in-class national developer, builder and manager of multifamily housing.
