RHF Celebrates Renovations of its Pecan Place Affordable Housing Community

A rededication of Pecan Place, a Retirement Housing Foundation (RHF) affordable housing community for older adults in Bonham, Texas, was held Nov. 8, 2023, to celebrate the completion of its $1.6 million renovation project.

Speakers for the event included Bonham Mayor H.L. Compton and a representative from the office of U.S. Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas). The program also included a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a message from Stuart Hartman, president and CEO of RHF.

Pecan Place, a HUD 202 community for seniors originally built in 1990, has 40 spacious, one-bedroom and studio, cottage-style apartments. Each apartment includes a full kitchen, living/dining area, and a full bathroom. Pecan Place is one of 17 RHF communities in the state of Texas.

The renovation project at Pecan Place included structural work, administration, and common area improvements, plus extensive updates to the individual units. Updates included new bathroom and kitchen plumbing fixtures, paint, appliances, cabinets and countertops, light fixtures, and windows. The RHF Charitable Foundation gave a $25,000 grant to Pecan Place to pay for new furniture in its community room and for part of the new landscaping of the property.
