This individual will be a bright and dynamic leader with hands-on experience. The Heritage Village complex in North Kingstown has provided affordable housing for low-income families and seniors since it was built in 1979. North Kingstown is a desirable Rhode Island community with a very limited supply of affordable rental homes and there was significant concern about the possible loss of affordability of the 204 homes as the development's mortgage reached maturity. Heritage Village includes three buildings for seniors and six for families. The sites are separated by a large winding driveway as well as handsomely landscaped grounds. All of the apartments have Section 8 rental assistance which allows each household to predictably pay 30% of its income for rent because the rental subsidies are ‘project-based’ meaning they accompany the property rather than a current resident guaranteeing the subsidy’s availability for future households.
