Deeply Affordable Housing

Addressing the Housing Crisis through Deeply Affordable Housing Solutions

Filling a devastating gap in the spectrum of housing

Deeply Affordable Housing provides a sustainable and accessible housing solution in Stamford, CT.

Affordable housing targets people who earn 50% to 60% of the Area Median Income. Deeply affordable housing targets people earning just 25%-35% of Area Median Income.

The difference is important.

Our Area Median Income is so high that a family of four can earn between $85,500 - $95,000 and still qualify for affordable housing in Stamford, CT. That's far beyond what our clients make or can even hope to make.

Deeply affordable housing is the answer.

Without deeply affordable housing, the odds of them exiting homelessness are almost insurmountable.
‍
Even more impressive: our deeply affordable housing facilities in CT are self-sustaining: they break even and do not require ongoing subsidies.

24 & 26 Woodland

We began our effort to create deeply affordable housing modestly. We purchased two small buildings at 24 & 26 Woodland Place and renovated them.

Together, the two buildings have nine apartments. They provide housing to families at rent levels they can afford. Each apartment has two or three bedrooms, a kitchen, bathrooms, and a living area.

Summer Place

Our commitment to deeply affordable housing has grown steadily over the past eight years.

In partnership with Charter Oak Communities, Inspirica has responded to a growing demand for affordable housing for seniors.

Summer Place features 48 units of deeply affordable housing for adults aged 55 and above. The building has 40 one-bedroom apartments and 8 studio apartments in a five-story building.

Located in the heart of downtown Stamford, Summer Place offers seniors access to our Franklin Commons campus which is home to a wide array of services and provides the seniors with the opportunity to interact, stay active, and avoid isolation.

Franklin Apartments

This 47,000-square-foot building located in the heart of downtown Stamford opened in October of 2019 and provides deeply affordable housing to approximately 125 people. Consisting of:

26 studio apartments
17 two-bedroom apartments
and 10 three-bedroom apartments

Franklin Apartments further includes a preschool with six classrooms that provide critical early childhood education to 48 infants and toddlers ages 0-3, through a partnership with Children’s Learning Centers.

Franklin Apartments is the first building of its kind to be built in the nation. It is innovative on many levels. It is designed to serve families and individuals, it has onsite daycare (a critical factor for families that can barely make ends meet), and it’s a tri-sector partnership (including the not-for-profit sector, private sector, and government).
