Arenap Living provides safe, stable, and affordable shared housing for seniors and veterans who are able to live independently and benefit from a supportive, community-based residential environment. Our program is designed to reduce housing instability while promoting dignity, safety, and long-term housing stability.
Arenap Living operates as a non-medical, independent shared housing program and does not provide clinical or assisted living services.

Individuals may apply directly or be referred by a case manager, VA representative, social service agency, or community partner. All inquiries are handled confidentially and in accordance with fair housing standards.
Step 2: Eligibility Review
Applications are reviewed using objective, non-discriminatory criteria consistent with HUD, VA, and state housing guidelines to determine program fit and housing availability.
Step 3: Interview & Housing Match
Eligible applicants participate in a brief interview to assess shared-living compatibility, housing needs, and expectations.
