Affordable Housing for Older and Disabled Adults

The Grand Rapids Housing Commission (GRHC) operates five attractive, conveniently located housing developments specifically designed to serve older and disabled adults. In general, these retirement communities are open to income-eligible seniors ages 62 and older. Our Leonard Terrace, Mount Mercy and Sheldon Apartments developments also offer rent-subsidized units to income-eligible disabled residents who are at least 55 years of age; income-eligible seniors ages 55-61 who are not disabled pay a flat rent based on market rates rather than household income.
