From Homelessness to Sustainable Living |
| Affordable Rental Housing |
New Beginnings began building affordable housing in 2004 as a commitment to solving people being without
homes in Hutchinson. Fair market rents were being charged for sub-standard housing which contributed to
the growing numbers of families and individuals that became homeless. The first housing complex we built
was Walnut Court Apartments. It was built on a campus that housed permanent affordable apartments with
transitional apartments and linked by commons areas and the on site job training programs.
