Little Village Annex sits at 105 N Lee Street in Buckner, Missouri, and offers HUD-designated low income apartments for seniors, people with disabilities, and low income families, and you'll find choices for one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units, with options to pay either a flat rent or 30% of your gross income, and a utility allowance can be included for things like water and trash so some bills are covered, which helps keep costs down for folks living on tight budgets, and there's often a waiting list since these units fill up fast. The community pays attention to simple comforts, with each apartment having a kitchen with a refrigerator, range, and garbage disposal, and you get window coverings, private patios or balconies in certain communities, and covered water and garbage pickup, plus ground-level apartments for easy in and out, accessible parking, elevators, and wheelchair ramps aimed at senior safety. It focuses on safety and convenience too, with 24-hour security measures, monitoring cameras, an on-site laundry room, a beauty salon, and surface lot parking, and there's quick access to Hwy 24, plus the administration office handles applications, reviews, and resident paperwork for people who qualify-for example, you have to be a U.S. citizen or legal immigrant with valid paperwork, not have drug felonies or recent evictions from public housing, and your household income needs to be under 80% of the area median.
Little Village Annex says pets are welcome-cats and dogs can live with residents-and they offer assisted living, independent living, memory care, and even skilled nursing services, so folks can find support as needs change, and respite care is also an option if someone just needs a short stay or extra help for a short while. Residents get housekeeping, help with daily activities like dressing or bathing if they need it, medication management, and mobility support, and the staff's often described as kind, helpful, and friendly, which people seem to appreciate in comments and reviews found on the directory site. Meal times are important here, and they serve home-cooked meals planned by chefs, which residents say are very good, and there's an on-site restaurant, guest meal options, and special dining programs that aim to keep food healthy and appealing, and people can join devotional services onsite if they'd like. Folks living in Little Village can join all kinds of social events and outings, with full-time activity directors setting up trivia games, field trips, and group events, and the grounds are tree-lined and well-tended, so it's nice for those who like to go on walks or sit outdoors.
Each apartment is designed to be easy for older folks to get around, with emergency response systems and layouts that aim to feel familiar and safe, especially for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and if someone needs memory care, help's available. The whole place is meant for active, generally healthy seniors, but as needs change, there are more support services available, so people can find what they need as they age. There's transportation and parking support for medical appointments or shopping trips, and laundry and housekeeping services are also provided, which takes care of a lot of daily chores. Little Village Annex sets income and legal eligibility rules, offers yearly discounts on rent from time to time, and the apartment rates might change based on available units or government subsidy, but most important, they provide a simple, clean, and no-frills home for folks who might not have many other options, with a bit of community feeling and support for those who want it.
