Renovations have begun on Harvard School, a turn-of-the-century schoolhouse in Cleveland, Ohio's historic Slavic Village. National Church Residences is transforming the building into an affordable housing community for seniors age 55 and over.

A former elementary school, Harvard School closed its doors in the mid-1980's, and later served as a district administration building. NCR purchased the property in 2000. Plans call for Harvard Village Senior Apartments to be comprised of 48 one- and two-bedroom units, including several units specifically designed for disabled persons. NCR will pump over $6 million of improvements into the three-story building. Units will range from 650 to 850 square feet.

Special financing will allow NCR to offer reduced rents. Harvard Village Senior Apartments is a tax-credit community, which means that rents will be approximately 25% lower than the area's prevailing rate. Forty percent (40%) of the units will be available to seniors whose income is at, or below, 50% of the area median. The remaining units are designated for seniors whose income is at, or below 60% of the area median. Water, trash, and sewer services will be included in the rent.

Renovation on the re-named Harvard Village Senior Apartments is expected to be completed in late 2002.
