Biddeford Housing
Mission Hill
In 2014, BHA purchased the old St. Andre's school, convent, rectory and church. BHA renamed this development "The Mission Hill Complex". Each property is on it's own city lot bounded by Bacon Street, Sullivan Street and High Street. All of the properites are currently under construction.
The school currently has 35 apartments and the convent has been constructed to have 15 apartments. These apartments are considered to be a Tax-Credit Senior Housing building, which means, it aims to house low-to-moderate income individuals, who are 55 or older.
The Rectory's first floor will be home to the Community Partnership for Protecting Children, the summer lunch program for kids and other community based programs. The uppers floors are planned to be converted to affordable housing for families.
The Church has no definite plans as of yet but will hopefully be turned into a space for the community.
ST. ANDRE'S SCHOOL AT MISSION HILL
The school currently has 35 apartments. This year all of the apartments have undergone renovations, which included putting new carpets, kitchen tiles, kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, toilets and windows into the units. The halls, offices and community room have also been redone.
South Portland Housing has been contracted by the owners to manage and maintain the school and convent. Seniors 55 year old and older are encouraged to apply.
