Griswold Housing Authority Elderly Housing  

 

The Griswold Housing Authority operates 60 units of elderly housing in two subsidized developments.  The Housing Authority is established under Section 8-40 of the Connecticut General Statutes. The development of Ashland Manor at 92 Asland Street and McCluggage Manor at 242 Taylor Hill Road are projects that were funded by the Connecticut Department of Housing.

Rents are income-based. Seniors must be at least 62 and have a maximum annual income of $30,000 for a single person.

Currently, Ashland Manor is involved in a complete overhaul and expansion to complete the $700,000 first phase of a complete renovation of Ashland Manor through the state Community Development Block Grant program. These renovation plans call for gutting the apartments to install new electrical wiring, windows, doors, ceilings and walls as well as kitchen cabinets and air conditioning. Sidewalks will also be created throughout the complex.

Apartments at the McCluggage Manor,are also slated for a $4 million to building 35 new units and to overhaul the existing apartments for elderly, handicapped and disabled tenants.

Authority members are working with state officials at the Department of Economic and Community Development to obtain the funding.
