The Arch at Saint Michael, located at 3146 Scranton Road, is a renovation of the former Central Catholic school and convent. CHN is working on this development with the Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing. Construction on this development is anticipated to take approximately 17 months.

The following is some information about the building: 

• This development will be affordable senior housing (ages 62+) with 12 units in the former convent and 36 units in the former school.  
• Residents will receive support to age-in-place. 
• The building will be owned and managed by CHN. CHN staff will be on site daily. 
• Once in operation, CHN will ensure that neighbors know who to call with any issues or complaints. We will actively build relationships with immediate neighbors.  
• Our building will have on-site property management and strong relationships with the police and City to help increase security in the area.
