CLEVELAND — Cleveland City Council has given a million dollars to a local nonprofit to help build a new senior living apartment complex on Detroit Avenue.
"People are living longer and healthier lives every day," said McNamara."As their needs change, perhaps moving from a two-family house to a more accessible place, they want to find that kind of housing in a place that's still close to their place of worship, where they shop, where their friends are."
Marketing Director Josh Jones-Forbes said it would fit all the needs of adults 55 and over. Each room will be handicap accessible, there's a 24-hour bus line in front, and the new Walz Branch of the Cleveland Public Library will be on the ground level. There is also a health campus across the street and food options nearby.
McNamara said there's a waitlist for affordable senior living in Cleveland, and Karam Senior Living will help combat that problem.
