The 12 units of Swatara

are designed for individuals with disabilities. The special features include
roll-in showers, lower countertops and light switches and fire-safety systems
to alert people with hearing or visual impairments.
The project was sponsored by the Center for Independent
Living of Central Pennsylvania, Mohn Street Accessible Housing Inc. and
Tri-County Housing Development Corp.
Various federal and local sources contributed funding.
Baldwin
Village received 70
applications for its 12 units within a two-week period, officials said.
