 | The Archdale
Opened in 1996, the Archdale was one of the first facilities of its kind in the country to offer apartments for homeless youth, ages 16-20.
The Archdale provides 24-hour on-site support services, including case management, referrals and other services to assist youth in achieving their employment, education and self-sufficiency goals. Aeon partners with YouthLink, a non-profit youth agency, to provide support services for the residents.
In 2008, Archdale Apartments were renovated. Each efficiency and one-bedroom apartment has a kitchen and bath, and is nicely furnished. A first-floor community room serves as a gathering place for residents, and includes a television, kitchenette, tables and couches. There  | | Community Room |
is also a resource room for studying, reading, and computer and Internet access. The landscaped outdoor courtyard has a barbecue pit and play area for young children.
Aeon received an honorable mention for the Archdale from the Fannie Mae Maxwell Awards for Excellence and the Metropolitan Life Foundation National Excellence in Affordable Housing Award.
