"Saint Ann’s Senior Village repurposes excess land at Good Shephard Parish’s Saint Ann’s Church for the development of 60 units of affordable rental housing for seniors (62+). All units will be one-bedroom units and will be affordable to low-income households, with approximately 15 units (25%) affordable at or below 30% of area median income (AMI) and the remaining units at or below 60% of AMI. At least three units will be Group 2 accessible, and the entire property will be visitable. Site amenities will include a community room, living room, staffed management office, on-site laundry, approximately 64 parking spaces, programmed outdoor recreational space, and extensive walking trails and passive recreation on the adjacent Sudbury Valley Trustees land. Site control is being secured from the parish via a long-term ground lease, currently under negotiation. Strong support from Wayland officials provides a rare opportunity to permit this much-needed housing resource, with a broad diversity of deep affordability, on a relatively short timeline."
