Park Danforth

The Park-Danforth provides high quality, dignified, safe and affordable housing (70 independent living apartments) to those whose means are defined as "very low income" or "extremely low income" in accordance with federal eligibility guidelines for the HUD Section 8 program.In providing Section 8 housing, The Park-Danforth, in partnership with the U.S. Department of HUD, provides housing to those who would otherwise be at financial risk due to the high cost of housing and utilities. These apartments are specially designed to optimally meet the needs of those who are aging in place. As these residents age, by virtue of their residency, they are given priority for transfers to the assisted living program at such time as a higher level of care is needed. This priority and transfer is financially made possible by Home for the Aged, another 501(c)(3) entity, co-located at the 777 Stevens Avenue, Portland, Maine site.
