Vacant Cuyler-Brownsville building reopens as housing for homeless seniors
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - A vacant, century-old building in the Cuyler-Brownsville neighborhood has a new purpose. The City of Savannah, Chatham County and several nonprofit partners cut the ribbon Tuesday on “H.O.M.E.,” which stands for Housing Opportunities Made for Everyone.
It includes four renovated, ADA-accessible apartments designed for a specific growing population: older adults who are homeless and medically fragile.
Organizers say people 55 and older are now the fastest-growing group of homeless people in the country.
The project cost more than $800,000. It is the first project funded through the new Chatham County Housing Fund.
Leaders hope it’s a model they can expand.
