BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — Wendover Housing Partners has started accepting applications for residents at Rochester Park, an affordable seniors housing community in Brooksville, approximately 45 miles north of Tampa.
This Hernando County community, designed for residents age 55 and older, will expand Wendover’s footprint on the west coast of Florida.
Rochester Park is an 84-unit affordable community with one- and two-bedroom units. Rent will start at $885 per month for one-bedroom units and $1,047 per month for two-bedroom units.
“According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition 2023 Gap Report, there are only 23 available and affordable rental homes per 100 extremely low-income rental households in the state of Florida,” says Jonathan Wolf, founder and CEO of Wendover Housing Partners. “With more than half a million extremely low-income renter households in the state, addressing the need for affordable housing has become crucial.”
Slocum Platts Architects designed the community. Roger B. Kennedy Construction is overseeing construction, which is scheduled for completion in August.
