We partner with community and thought leaders to maximize public spending efficiency, create connections, and collaboratively solve problems to improve the quality of life for older people and other citizens alike.
At St. Mary Development, we believe we're better together. That's why we've built such a strong and supportive network of partners over the past 35 years. We work closely with community organizations who deliver services, foundations that disperse funds, and individuals who want to invest in their neighborhoods. We provide affordable housing because we know a safe home is the foundation for a high-quality life. Our apartments are designed with older people in mind, and include features like zero-step entries, roll-in showers, and community spaces. They’re more accessible than 99% of housing in the country and allow our residents to age in their homes and avoid Medicaid nursing homes.
But we don't do it alone – our work is made possible by our incredible partners, including developers, architects, engineers, contractors, construction companies, and more. We partner with public organizations and private firms to build housing communities while helping you advance your organizational goals.
