Construction is now underway at Everts Hill in Circleville, OH. This vibrant new, affordable senior community at the former Everts Middle School will offer 49 modern, new rental apartment homes for independent seniors on fixed incomes. The senior apartment community, located near the heart of Circleville’s downtown district, will also include a community garden and greenhouse, a cafe open to residents and the public, and many other valuable onsite services geared for seniors. It will maintain the character and charm of the 1916 school building.
The primary source of funding for Everts Hill was made possible through the allocation of state housing and federal tax credits. The Ohio Housing Finance Agency allocated $910,400 in state housing tax credits; the Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing (OCCH) is investing $9.1 million in equity in exchange for those credits. OCCH is also investing $2.2 million in exchange for federal historic rehabilitation tax credits.
The Woda Group, Inc., a leading development firm in affordable housing and adaptive reuse, has combined efforts and talents with nonprofit Pickaway Community Action Organization (PICCA) to create the new community.
