Expanding affordable housing: DuPage Housing Authority’s new CEO partners with Alden Foundation
Addison Horizon Senior Living Community, a 62-unit affordable senior independent living community, is planned for the northwest corner of Green Meadow Drive and Denise Court in Addison.
Addison Horizon will be restricted to seniors, age 62 or older. It will be a mixed-income community with apartments affordable to seniors whose incomes are below 30%, 50%, and 60% of the DuPage County area median income.
Sixteen apartments will be set aside for DuPage Housing Authority’s Project-Based Voucher program participants at 50% area median income. There will be five market units in the community in addition to the mixed income units.
The three-story elevator operated building will offer 50 one-bedroom and 12 two-bedroom apartments. The building’s design will be certified under the Enterprise Green Communities program, which also includes Energy Star certification. The site will have 62 surface parking spaces.
Residents will enjoy several common area amenities, such as a community room with kitchen (for parties, not for daily meal service); an outdoor patio; a theater/media room with comfortable seating; an exercise room with fitness equipment; a game room with a billiards table; a computer lab with internet access; and a quiet library with a fireplace.
Apartment amenities include cabling for high-speed internet access and modern kitchens with Energy Star dishwashers, Energy Star refrigerators and stove/ranges.
Ten units will be fully accessible for mobility impairment under the Illinois Accessibility Code; two will accommodate sight or hearing-impaired seniors; three will be fully accessible under the IAC; and 49 units will follow universal design standards. There will be card-operated laundry facilities on each of the floors.
Addison Horizon Senior Living Community will offer several organized activities and events for the residents, including movie nights; special dinners and holiday parties; field trips; seminars on a range of topics, including health care and finance; blood pressure screening; bingo; and lots of other activities.
The grand opening is planned for October 2025. The address is 500 N. Denise Court.
“DHA remains committed to the expansion of affordable housing in DuPage County and Addison Horizon Senior Living Community is a great start to ensuring continued housing stability for seniors aged 62 and older,” said Cheron Corbett, CEO of the DuPage Housing Authority
