Fife House and our partners, WoodGreen Community Services and the Wellesley Institute, have opened new supportive housing!
Ready for occupancy, the Sherbourne Street building (or Wellesley Central Residences Inc.) has 112 apartment units: 56 for people living with HIV/AIDS and operated by Fife House; and 56 for seniors and operated by WoodGreen Supportive Housing. Residents in the building are integrated on each floor. The building also includes a roof-top healing garden, community kitchen, communal lounge and ground floor patio. The vision is to create a safe, supportive environment of acceptance and tolerance for all residents of the building.
The supportive housing programs operate 24 hours per day, 7 days a week providing personal support, homemaking and coordination services. The apartments are a combination of bachelors, one and two bedroom units. This means that for the first time in Fife House's history, we are able to provide housing to families living with HIV/AIDS.
This is just one of the many exciting projects on the horizon at Fife House, and your support is crucial, given that housing is now one of the biggest issues facing people living with HIV/AIDS.
