National Church Residences Opens Affordable Senior Housing on Columbus’s East Side

National Church Residences has opened Berwyn East Place, an 88-unit affordable housing community for adults 55 and older on Columbus’s East Side. The new development combines stable, income-based housing with on-site supportive services that help residents coordinate medical care, access transportation, and manage daily needs. Leaders noted the model is designed to support preventive care and reduce avoidable emergency room visits, while creating long-term housing stability for older adults.

The opening comes as housing affordability remains a pressing issue for older Ohioans, with nearly one-third of households age 65 and older facing a housing cost burden. We congratulate National Church Residences on this investment in affordable housing and integrated services that strengthen health and stability for older adults in Columbus.
