Shalom Affordable Housing

A National Model

Shalom and Shalom II Apartments integrate strong supportive programs and activities for seniors and mobility-impaired adults. This approach enables us to offer an enriched service environment where tenants thrive.

Since it opened in 1980, Shalom’s reputation has grown both locally and nationally as a model for supportive affordable housing. Both Shalom and Shalom II have earned a superior rating from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

An Enriched Environment

At our Shalom and adjacent Shalom II Apartments, a Resident Service coordinator is on hand to assess each tenant’s needs and provide help connecting with appropriate agencies and services. Our central dining room, a hub of activities, provides noontime meals. An active tenants’ association keeps energy levels high with planned trips, meetings, speakers programs, parties and other events.

Shalom also offers a range of amenities to make life healthy and enjoyable:

• Community rooms and lounges
• Book club
• Games like poker, bingo and Mah Jongg
• Shalom Mealsite
• Landscaped grounds
• Parking
• Farmers’ market
• Voting venue
