Community Open House Planned for Veterans Housing Project in Chester County

by Mission First Housing

Meet the staff and tour the building of The Whitehall Apartments in Spring City

Spring City, PA—Mission First Housing Group and Columbus Property Management welcome the community to an open house for The Whitehall Apartments at 3795 Schuylkill Road, Spring City, PA from 5-7 pm on Wednesday, July 19.

The Whitehall is a newly constructed 48-unit veteran apartment community located in Spring City, Chester County with a computer room, on-site laundry room, fitness center and community room.

Residents of The Whitehall Apartments have access to comprehensive support services provided by the Coatesville VA Medical Center and a full-time resident services manager through Mission First’s resident services department. An on-site property manager and live-in superintendent will manage the property. In addition, the staff will link residents to community-based supports to assist them in their efforts to get back on their feet, live independently and thrive as members of the community.

The Whitehall Apartments officially opened with a public ceremony on June 14, 2017. Planning for the development began in the summer of 2012, when Mission First met with representatives of the Veterans Administration (VA), Chester County Department of Community Development and Housing Authority of Chester County to discuss the development of veterans housing in Chester County. The VA indicated that the limited supply of affordable housing units in the County was preventing the veterans it serves from securing safe, stable and affordable housing. The VA also indicated that many veterans prefer to live in the company of other veterans who have shared similar life experiences. The Whitehall is Mission First’s response to this need.

Guests can tour the building, meet the staff and ask questions about the development of the project and living at The Whitehall Apartments. Applications will be accepted at the open house. Income restrictions apply.
