The apartment is beautiful, and it makes me feel that I'm not low-income. I feel like I have a beautiful home to come home to every day. And I have a great community here on top of that. Being able to afford rent and to rebuild my life with not my whole paycheck going to rent…I can take care of myself and daughter and pay bills and to start and actually get ahead in life. For me, that's huge... it's freedom.

I want to welcome the Goddard Senior Homes to the Goddard, KS community. These new affordable duplexes for our state's low to moderate-income seniors are great news for our state. I’d like to thank Excel Development Group and the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation for their work on this project. As your Governor I will continue to support affordable housing and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program that makes projects like these possible, and providing our state's seniors with affordable, clean, safe homes they deserve.

Medicalodges, Inc. is very excited to be partnered with Excel Development Group in bringing additional affordable housing to Goddard, KS. This project has been a long time coming and we appreciate the dedication and perseverance of Excel Development Group in continuing to work with Kansas Housing Resource Corporation to get this project approved, built and open for occupancy. We couldn’t be happier with how the final project has expanded the senior housing services we can provide to Goddard and the surrounding area.

We’re so pleased to partner with Excel Development Group to serve the future residents of the Goddard Senior Homes community. We’re especially honored that some of these units are reserved for military veterans and their spouses. A chance for us to give back for all that they gave to us.

Everything is brand new. They didn't cut corners anywhere…everything is perfect. From the light fixtures to the lazy susans, alarm systems, ceiling fans in every room…they did everything first class. I'm disabled and couldn't afford a lot of the apartments around town, and a lot of them are run-down, but they're still charging a terrible amount for rent. This was such a blessing to find something that's super affordable, and still have enough left to live a comfortable life but yet have something I can be proud of and not afraid to live in. I just love it here!
