Wesley Village is an innovative, adaptive re-use of church property that is now a unique multi-use urban campus of quality affordable housing with educational, social and health services. The church’s 2.2 acres of excess parking space and vacant land was used to develop two residential buildings, one for seniors and another for families and a Head Start Learning Center. A store front community center on the street includes a free medical clinic and other services available to the entire neighborhood.
