PLAINFIELD, IN – RealAmerica Companies continues to open quality, affordable properties around the state of Indiana. Their newest success, Haven Homes, opened in Plainfield, IN this month to finish off their year with another beautiful accomplishment. Thanks to RealAmerica’s commitment to high standards and careful location selection, Haven Homes offers the residents of Plainfield an affordable option in a pristine location, surrounded by several large employers with direct access to the Central Indiana Regional Transportation Authority bus route, adjacent to Clarks Creek Trail. This much needed workforce housing will include on-site services provided by local partners, Sheltering Wings and Cummins Behavioral Health. 25% of Haven’s apartment homes are set aside for the most vulnerable population, including those that are domestic abuse survivors. RealAmerica’s President and Owner, Ronda Shrewsbury, states “We are committed to giving more to our residents to improve their lives and make their living environments better.” With on-site offices for Sheltering Wings, services for these survivors and underserved populations will extend to Haven Homes and all residents will have access to a HIPAA-compliant tele-health room, a community resource center/classroom, 529 plan funding for their children, and the comfort of living in a stable and independent environment.

Sheltering Wings is a domestic violence shelter in Danville, Indiana that provides emergency housing for survivors escaping domestic abuse. They build stable and independent lives through essential programs offered in a supportive and Christ-centered environment. “Haven Homes has given our clients the opportunity to live a stable, independent life in a community that is not defined by domestic abuse,” said Cassie Mecklenburg, Executive Director of Sheltering Wings. “We are so grateful for this partnership.”

Cummins is proud to partner with Sheltering Wings and RealAmerica for Haven Homes. Cummins is a community mental health center providing mental health and substance use services in Central and West Central Indiana since 1972. Cummins will be providing on-site services with telehealth capabilities for the residents of Haven Homes.

“CSH congratulates RealAmerica, Sheltering Wings, and Cummins Behavioral Health for the grand opening of Haven Homes and for earning the CSH Quality Endorsement. We worked with this dedicated team through the CSH Supportive Housing Institute and technical assistance. Haven Homes brings high-quality, safe, affordable housing and supportive housing units to the Plainfield community to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness thrive,” said Lori Phillips-Steele, Director, CSH Indiana.

Haven Homes is a 3 story, 52-unit property, built to the Silver National Green Building Standard, offering residents three different open-concept floor plans ranging from one to three bedrooms. All apartments include full-sized, in-unit washers and dryers, luxury plank flooring, built-in kitchen appliances, a balcony or patio, ceiling fans, energy-efficient features, cable hookup in all bedrooms, increased soundproofing, and free in-unit internet service. Other featured amenities include a dog park, playground, indoor creative play space for children, on-site fitness room, community room with a kitchen for entertaining and gathering, bike share program & bike storage, computer resource center, outdoor sports court, and safety features including security cameras.

The official Grand Opening will take place on Friday, December 17, 2021, at 12:00 p.m. and will begin with a free lunch from Grace Food Truck. The Grand Opening Ceremony will commence at 1:00 p.m. with speeches from the Town Council, Executive Director of the IHCDA, the President and Owner of RealAmerica, Ronda Shrewsbury, and on-site service providers. There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony, giveaways, tours of the homes and property, service provider booths, and refreshments. Join us in celebrating another success for the town of Plainfield and RealAmerica.

Haven Homes would not be possible without RealAmerica’s reputation for building quality, affordable housing for the past 26 years, the support of the Plainfield Town Council and community, the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, and the partnership with Sheltering Wings, and Cummins Behavioral Health. Additional financial partners include J.P. Morgan, Boston Financial, and Merchants Capital.
