A Greeley nonprofit that runs a housing complex for low-income people with disabilities announced plans Monday to renovate the building so it can serve a different population, leaving current residents searching for new homes.
, the nonprofit that runs Hope Apartments, met with residents Monday morning to inform them of the new plans to renovate the complex into housing for people with brain injuries who need around-the-clock care. Right now, the apartments are home to people with various disabilities who are capable of living independently.
But the 28 people who live in the building, including nine who use wheelchairs, are struggling to find housing that is both affordable and designed for people with disabilities. Every apartment at Hope has a roll-in shower, low cabinets and counters, and wide doors so they are accessible.management posted notices on their doors with vague language
Doug Peters, a 10-year resident who uses a wheelchair because of a spinal cord injury, said he has been searching for a new home since Adeo administrators told residents in December that changes were likely coming. He will need to hire people to pack his belongings, drive them to a new location and then unbox and set up his new apartment. He will have to hire someone to uninstall the lift he uses to get in and out of bed and install it in a new home. And he’s worried he may have to pay for a new shower unit wherever he goes and that could cost $4,000 or more, he estimated.
