About Fellowship Square Foundation
Affordable and supportive independent living for seniors and the disabled.
Since its beginning in 1960, the Fellowship Square founders wanted to be more than just a landlord providing shelter and collecting rent. They saw a need for a caring staff, a comfortable, secure living environment worthy of being called home. So today, Fellowship Square is concerned with more than providing shelter and collecting rent. It is interested in the whole person— the physical, social, mental, and spiritual welfare of its residents.
Out of an abiding sense of Christian mission, Fellowship Square Foundation devotes itself to providing housing and supportive living environments that enhance the personal freedom, independence, self-confidence, and well-being.
