Its affordability for seniors will be protected under a long-term Section 8 contract with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This rehabilitation will result in safe and modern housing for seniors for years to come. Pinzone is in a walkable location, with easy access to retailers and other commercial activity.
