This week’s Community Spotlight shines on April Crossley of Mohnton, co-owner of Homes of Grace, a project aimed at creating affordable, community-focused housing for seniors in Berks County.

Crossley and her business partner are redeveloping a home in Sinking Spring into a co-living space for independent seniors, offering below-market rents while fostering connection and reducing loneliness. With more than two decades of landlord experience, Crossley hopes the effort will eventually grow into a tiny-home community for seniors.

A former teen mother who built a career in healthcare before transitioning into real estate and entrepreneurship, Crossley says her life experiences have shaped her mission to help others and strengthen the community.
