Frankfort Family Reena Residence

Frankfort Family Reena Residence will be Reena’s Third Intentional Living Community. This new building will be modelled after the success of the Sandy Keshen Reena Residence and the Lou Fruitman Reena Residence. These housing models, in collaboration with other social services agencies, enhance quality of life, while allowing individuals to live within their communities.

Inclusive Community

The Frankfort Family Reena Residence will be home to individuals from all walks of life, including those supported by various community agencies. These agencies will independently manage their own assessment and intake processes.

Reena is actively engaged in discussions with potential partners to expand the range of services and support available at the residence. Once these partnerships are established, we will update the website with detailed information for those interested in learning more about these opportunities.

Important Update- Residential Fee-for-Service Model

Thank you for your interest in the residential fee-for-service model at the Frankfort Family Reena Residence. This model will contribute to the vibrant and diverse community, with approximately 22 beds dedicated to it. We received an overwhelming number of inquiries and will soon begin evaluating the suitability of those who have already expressed interest. At this time, we are no longer accepting additional inquiries for this specific model. Should there be any changes in the future, we will notify those who sign up using the form below. By signing up, you’ll receive routine updates on the overall project, including key milestones and project progress.
