Ballard Green - An Independent Living Environment
Ballard Green opened in 1979 as the first development of RHA with forty independent living residences for seniors (or disabled of any age) located in a beautiful park-like setting on Gilbert Street and in 1982 twenty additional units were completed. Three more apartment were added in 1983 when the Authority renovated the Ballard Carriage Barn, donated by the Town. Also donated by the town were two units of moderate-income at 21 Gilbert Street in 1986 and a family unit house at 27 Gilbert Street in 1996.
Prospect Ridge (Congregate) - Independent Living for the frail
At Prospect Ridge, a "Congregate" senior facility of thirty-four one-bedroom apartments opened in 1992. The Congregate provides twenty-four hour supervision in case of emergency, housekeeping services, and a common dining room offering one meal a day.
Prospect Ridge (Affordable and Moderate)
Reflecting the Town's commitment to provide reasonably priced family housing, the Authority opened twenty newly constructed one to three bedfroom family apartments at Propect Ridge in 1992.
The Authority provides the above housing under the Congregate, Elderly, Affordable and Moderate programs. Eligibility requirements vary by program and are based upon criteria mandated by the State of Connecticut, Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD), and the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA), but all include income, family size, age, and other factors.
