See Our Work in Senior Housing
Through 2011, Enterprise has invested $2.2 billion in 550 properties with 37,290 homes for seniors. Since 2005, 25 percent of the housing that Enterprise finances is targeted to seniors, and nearly 30 percent of all the homes rehabbed with Enterprise assistance serve seniors.We are focused on continuing to develop new resources and financing tools to meet today’s needs, including environmentally smart senior housing through the Enterprise Green Communities initiative.
We are piloting new senior housing projects across the country:
