Good Samaritan Village is a ministry of the Catholic Diocese of Memphis and managed by the Diocese of Memphis Housing Corporation. DMHC was chartered in 1976 in the State of Tennessee with the mission of providing affordable housing to the elderly who are unable to meet the expense of housing without assistance. The Housing Corporation continues to operate with that same mission today, making a home available for those who have reached their later years and are considered to be in the low income range.
Good Samaritan Village provides independent, peaceful, decent housing for the low-income elderly with subsidies from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The income limits for admission to subsidized housing are determined by HUD and are established within the categories of low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income. To be eligible for HUD subsidy, residents must be at least 62 years of age and able to live independently. Monthly rent paid by the resident is 30% of adjusted monthly income after all out-of-pocket medical expenses are deducted. The cost of utilities is included in the rent. Television cable, telephone, and high-speed internet service are available at the expense of the resident.
