The new housing development will offer resident services provided by its sponsor, Southwestern Community Services, Inc. In addition, residents will have access to homemaking and support services thanks to an agreement between Southwestern Community Services and Home Health Care Hospice and Community Services. The building’s central location means seniors will have easy access to local services and Marlborough’s Main Street businesses.

“SCS and its development team are very pleased to have received HOME funds for the Marlborough Homes development,” said Keith Thibault, Chief Development Officer at SCS. “This community and surrounding neighborhoods will benefit greatly from the re-development of this former elementary school. Marlborough Homes is an excellent community development effort due to strong local partnerships and effective collaboration.”

“Marlborough Homes is a project that revitalizes a community resource while meeting the needs of area seniors,” said Dean Christon, Executive Director of New Hampshire Housing. “By supporting this project, we hope to provide a way for seniors to live affordably within an area that keeps them connected to important resources.”

Southwestern Community Services’ mission is to empower low-income people and families while providing leadership and collaboration within its local communities. SCS assists tens of thousands of low to moderate income households each year while remaining an economic force in the region. More information can be found at SCS’ website www.scshelps.org.
