Low Income Housing

Winona Court
...is the answer for seniors with limited income who value independent living. Tenants of this shared-living facility enjoy a home-like atmosphere, including private room from $525 per month, plus ($250 deposit), for 1st floor rooms.  Second floor rooms rent for $395 (plus $250 deposit).

Winona Court is an early 1900s house which was built by a physician.  In the old days, half of the first floor housed his reception, office and exam rooms; the remainder of the building served as his family residence.  Winona Court is located at 4635 West 38th Avenue, just north of the old Elitch Gardens site.

Independent living at affordable cost is possible when seniors share certain facilities and responsibilities - a concept that also makes Winona court truly "their" place. While each resident enjoys a private room, they share living/dining spaces and kitchen privileges, as well as basic housekeeping duties such as cleaning up after meals. Each tenant also maintains his/her own room, but a service takes care of general cleaning in common areas.

rebuilding together and volunteers paint winona court
and build wheelchair ramp for seniors

In the spirit of "service to the community" in honor of the late Martin Luther King Jr., Rebuilding Together, The Mile High Youth Corps and The Center for Hearing, Inc. volunteered 22 members on the January 19, 2004 holiday to paint the interior of Winona Court and the Carriage House. A diverse and dedicated coalition rolled up their sleeves to make the day truly special for the residents at Winona Court: Rebuilding Together director Laurie McCaw and program director Kerry McGuire; Mile High Youth Corps program director Patrick Wickline and crew leader Ruth Ann Kallenbert; and Linda Ellis of AgBell/CNI Center for Hearing joined forces to brighten the seniors' home.
