Developed and managed by Easterseals New Hampshire, Champlin Place offers 65 newly constructed affordable homes for older adults in Rochester, NH, and is one important step in addressing the need for more affordable housing options in the state. Evernorth is a proud equity investor in these new homes.
According to the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority, less than 4% of the state’s housing units are contractually managed to ensure affordability, with about half reserved for seniors. Champlin Place fills this gap, offering accessible apartments with low monthly rents.
The apartments are designed with accessibility features and provide access to supportive services that help residents maintain independence while aging in place. Easterseals staff are available to assist with tasks such as grocery shopping, transportation, medical needs, and home cleaning.
For many people, moving to Champlin Place is transformative, offering a secure, welcoming environment for individuals with some physical or health limitations who do not require full-time care. Most residents are local to the Rochester area, with some even returning to the community after decades away.
By combining affordability, accessibility, and community-focused support, Champlin Place serves as a model for tackling housing challenges in New Hampshire and beyond.
