Tracey Emmanuel got to know the
residents at Allen Terrace very well dur-
ing the recent cold spell when no one
wanted to venture outside.
Emmanuel is the new housing direc-
tor for the City of Northville and now
manages Allen Terrace senior apart-
ment complex onHighStreet.
She said the residents were welcom-
ing and glad to see her. She said it is
obvious that the residents enjoy living at
the facility.
Emmanuel started the job in
December and one of her first tasks was
preparing an annual budget and attend-
ing to several property maintenance
issues.
She said her plans include seeking
more grant money to keep up with the
continuous improvements needed at the
building.
Currently, revenue is generated pri-
marily through tenant rents. The build-
ing also has a capital fund that earns
interest.
Emmanuel meets monthly with the
Residents' Council, a week before meet-
ing with the Housing Commission, so
she can share concerns with the com-
mission that oversees the budget needs,
maintenance and capital improvements
at AllenTerrace.
Emmanuel also plans to explore the
assisted living centers and long-term
care facilities in and around the
Northville community to enable resi-
dentswho canno longer live in an apart-
ment independently tomove to a facility
that offers assistance with personal care
andhealthmatters.
“I have a lot to learn about seniors
and their needs. Everybody wants to age
in place, but you can't necessarily do
that in an apartment community
designed for independent living,” said
Emmanuel, who plans to become certi-
fied in senior housing.
“Because Northville is a compact
community with a lot of walkable streets
and businesses, the residents can get
around pretty easily,” she said. “It helps
that there is a Kroger's on Center
Street.”
Prior to coming to Northville,
Emmanuel was a property manager of
single-family housing for the City of
Livonia.
She served in the U.S. Army for four
years in the mid 1980s. She also has a
bachelors degree in business adminis-
tration from Eastern Michigan
University.
Emmanuel replaced former director
SherryNecelis, who retired.
