This is a great idea for a growing population. I took a quick look at 
the web site but couldn't find anything about financing or ballpark 
prices. Also no definition of low to moderate income or subsidized 
housing. Does  anyone here happen to know this information?

Are these 'affordable' or are they low cost?

I could write directly to them and ask. But I'm asking here on the 
list. Personally, I don't qualify for housing that's 55+.

Cheers!
