House provides 167 units of affordable housing for
older adults and people with mobility impairments.
Originally designed as an independent living residence
with one- and two-bedroom apartments, it now offers
a range of supportive services for its long-time tenants
who have aged into their 70s, 80s, and 90s.
On-site staff provides case management, as well as
educational, medical, mental health, legal and money
management services, all of which help tenants live
independently for as long as possible. Recreational
programming includes discussion groups, movies, trips
to performances and cultural events, holiday parties,
and gardening and plant sales based out of its adjoining
greenhouse. Phelps House tenants are regular participants
in a range of Goddard Riverside programs, including
the Senior Center,
Family Council,
and intergenerational activities with Goddard Riverside
youth participants.
Goddard Riverside opened Phelps House in 1983. The
agency’s Senior Center, OPTIONS
Center, and administrative and fiscal offices are
housed in the same 11-story building.

and people with mobility impairments. Donate
