January 10, 2014 (Buffalo, NY) ─ The DePaul Riverside Apartments, a newly-remodeled apartment program for income-eligible tenants located at 238 Ontario Street, is scheduled to open March 1, 2014. Applications for one- and two-bedroom apartments are now being accepted.

The DePaul Riverside Apartments are a conversion of Public School 60 (later known as Riverside Academy). The school has had a presence in Buffalo for over 100 years, serving as the educational foundation for the Black Rock neighborhood until recently. Closed for ten years, the school will soon have a new lease on life.

Apartments feature fully-equipped kitchens with a range/refrigerator and a wall-mounted flat-screen TV including basic cable service. Heat, hot water and electric are included in the rent. There is also individually-controlled heat and air conditioning as well as off-street parking.

Tenants have access to the community room, game room/computer room, and a secured storage area for each tenant. The building is 100 percent smoke free.

Rent is $600.00 per month for a one-bedroom apartment, and $700.00 per month for a two-bedroom apartment, with all utilities included. A security deposit equal to one month’s rent is required at the lease signing.

Applicants must meet the eligibility requirements with the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program and HOME Program.

DePaul is a private, progressive not-for-profit organization founded in 1958 in Rochester. The organization is committed to providing quality senior living residential services; mental health residential and treatment programs; addiction prevention and support programs, vocational programs and affordable housing.
