Golden Age Living Accommodations is currently under construction.
Projected completion is expected Spring of 2020.
Golden Age Living Accommodations is currently under construction. GALA is a joint venture between Mt. Airy Baptist Church, BCM Affordable Housing and Conifer Realty, LLC. Located in West Oak Lane, GALA will be an affordable senior community consisting of 50 apartment residences, with 46 one bedrooms and 4 two bedrooms within a four-story building. All of the units will be for households 62 years of age and older and will be handicap accessible.
Each apartment home includes a full kitchen, living and dining area, full bath, generous bedrooms, and ample closet space. Each will feature energy star rated appliances, electric oven with range hood and plenty of cabinet space. The community will be extremely energy efficient. Residents will enjoy services provided by Center in the Park. Amenities include a laundry center, fitness room, community room with a kitchen, an arts and crafts room, and health and wellness services will be provided to the residents by Chestnut Hill Hospital.
GALA is conveniently located to many SEPTA bus routes, grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, medical centers, and Cheltenham Square Mall.
Because Gala Senior Apartments participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a HOME project of this size, some of the units are set aside for households at or below 50% AMI with a corresponding lower rent cap. As this property appears not to have a project-based subsidy or any other Federal assistance, you likely will have to pay your own rent, albeit, at a lower rent amount thanks to the HOME and LIHTC programs. Since this property participates in the HOME and LIHTC programs, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
