It is an amazing transformation taking place in Silver Creek. More than a year ago, a decrepit eyesore of the old school on Main Street loomed over the neighborhood.
Fast forward to today. An impressive senior housing community is wrapping up. Silver Creek Senior Housing is a senior community that features 54 one- and two-bedroom apartment homes for individuals and families aged 62 and older.
“Since 1977, I have pushed to have something like this done, and I am thrilled about it,” Hanover Supervisor Lou Pelletter said. “We absolutely need that. I’m very excited about it. It couldn’t come at a better time.”
There is no denying the need. Chautauqua County is one of the oldest populations in New York state.
Affordable, low-income housing will be available, with rent varying from as low as $440 per month to $1,130 per month, based on size and household income. Rent also includes water, sewer, trash, and high-speed internet. While income restrictions apply, there is no application fee and no broker’s fee.
If the facility receives more applications than it has capacity, per state regulations, a housing lottery will be held to determine who is selected to call Silver Creek Senior Housing their new home. The housing lottery is scheduled for Oct. 19.
