The RCI Village is the first permanent, community-supported affordable housing program in Allentown. We have a total of 19 apartments where we place individuals and/or families to provide safe, stable, affordable housing, and the supports and connections that residents need to achieve long-term housing and life stability.
“What am I waiting for?
I’m waiting for stability. A place I can call home. Where I can have my own key. I’m waiting for my body to be healthy, and I’m waiting for housing.”
Our housing mission
In Allentown, many people are caught in an unending cycle between homelessness and temporary housing solutions that aren’t safe, don’t work, or don’t last. RCI Village confronts that by providing a community-centered, permanent, affordable housing program. We are community-centered through regular social events and activities to foster healthy relationships. We are permanent housing by offering residents long term housing needs. We are affordable housing for low-income households.
RCI Village places quality, affordable housing at the center of a web of related supports and services designed to bolster resident success and stability. We partner with Center for Independent Living, CareerLink, Literacy Center, and the Lehigh County Mental Health Program in order that residents maintain stable employment, pursue educational goals, improve their food security, or move forward with other aspects of their lives.
