Sullivan McKinney Elder Housing Corporation is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization sponsored by New Samaritan Corporation, also a non-profit organization, in North Haven, Connecticut. Sullivan McKinney opened in 1987 to provide a decent, safe and affordable community for residents aged 62 or older or with a qualifying disability.
The community added Resident Services Coordinator position to the staff which provides crucial links to aging residents and community-based services. The provision of services means that residents are able to age at home successfully and with dignity.
The community is currently home to thirty-nine residents. At present we have 10 male residents and 29 females with 5% of all residents over aged 90. It is not unusual for our residents to need the assistance of a mobility device such as a walker or wheelchair. The proposed improvements will make it easier for these residents to enjoy all areas of the facility.
The community is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 202 program for the elderly and, as such, maintains a reserve account that is used to maintain capital improvements at the property. In addition to these funds, the Board refinanced the original HUD loan and utilized the equity and interest savings to fund significant capital improvements in 2010 and combined with funding through the Housing Tax Credit Contribution program and the HUD Green Retrofit program made nearly $4,000,000 in improvements to the building and residences.
