Housing:
Brunswick Senior Resources is actively involved with the creation and affiliation of projects that bring senior living-style housing to Brunswick County Residents. BSRI seeks to create a county-wide spectrum of housing options that range from luxurious to traditional affordable housing. There are only a few ways to make senior housing available and affordable. BSRI specifically engages in the following methods to achieve those ends:
-
- Privately Financed Senior Living Communities: Partnering with capital investment groups and developers, BSRI helps to develop comprehensive plans to integrate programs and services as part of privately financed senior living developments. By increasing the market share of building smarter, age-focused communities, BSRI applies free market principles with the hope of stabilizing rents for seniors as the supply of senior apartments increases. Every privately financed development project with which BSRI is partnered includes a limited number of apartments that are rented at a reduced rate to allow for those that need housing at lower price points.
- LIHTC Program Communities: BSRI partners with communities like Sunset Creek Commons and Calabash Meadows to provide affordable senior housing through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program.
-Rents are set and restricted, not based on individual income.
-Apartment eligibility is based on household size and combined income, generally below 60% of the area’s median income.
-All rents include water, sewer, and trash; residents pay only for electricity. This partnership helps seniors access safe, stable, and affordable housing with predictable costs.
