Wilmington City Council Member Darius J. Brown (D-3rd District) was joined today by City Council President Theo Gregory and Council Member Sherry Dorsey Walker (D-6th District) for a ceremony with other government and community representatives to mark the start of construction of a new senior housing facility on Wilmington's Eastside. The Ministry of Caring broke ground today for a new 26-unit housing facility for lower-income senior citizens to be called Sacred Heart Village II.

Brown, who champions the 3rd District as a place where 'opportunity lives,' thanked the Ministry of Caring for its continuing effort to meet the social service needs of individuals and families, especially Wilmington's senior population and those citizens who are living in poverty. Council President Gregory stressed the importance of such a facility as far as affording seniors the opportunity to live in a safe and nurturing environment that offers quality and affordable housing.

The Ministry of Caring modeled the new $7 million facility after its successful Sacred Heart Village I project which opened in 2001 on North Monroe Street in the Westside Trinity Vicinity neighborhood.

Council Member Brown said Sacred Heart Village II compliments his district efforts to develop livable neighborhoods and supports the ongoing work already underway by various groups and individuals to restore prosperity to the City's eastside neighborhoods. He said people of all ages and abilities should be able to live in their neighborhoods as long as they would like, but he noted that too often individuals will say their communities no longer meets their needs. Brown said the Ministry of Caring, through this new housing complex, will enable seniors to continue living in their neighborhood of choice while insuring a high quality of life.
