Clarendon Senior
Housing
4720 North Clarendon Avenue
Chicago, Illinois
|
| This
five-story structure was originally designed as a
residential care facility for people with
Alzheimer's disease, but the building was never
completed when a prior developer's plan was
scuttled. Vacant and abandoned for more than four
years, the building was part of a larger package
acquired through a foreclosure. An adaptive re-use
will create 39 units of affordable rental housing
for independent seniors and eliminate a
neighborhood blight. In a unique partnership,
Council for Jewish Elderly will operate and staff
an on-site "resource center" to help
seniors-both building residents and members of the
community at large-connect to appropriate programs
and services. |
