Open Arms Housings second building, Owen Place, opened in the Fall of 2015 in the Trinidad neighborhood. Owen Place includes four one-bedroom apartments. From its conception, Open Arms has stressed the provision of quality living spaces with full bath and kitchen for each resident; shared common space; customization of units to meet the special mobility and other needs of residents; a safe and secure building to call home; and effective property management that keeps each unit a healthy and responsive place to live.
