New affordable housing is now ready for renters in Utica.

The city's Housing Authority opened up some apartments in the Cornhill Area.

Roosevelt Residences is one of the apartments that just opened. They are handicap accessible and section 8 rent certified. They have full laundry, off street parking, a community center, and a computer lab.

One potential renter says this move could be life changing.

"I do have an electric chair that I can use, where I live now it would be difficult just fitting through the doorway here it would fit through perfectly so for me an apartment like this would be perfect," said Peter Medina, a potential resident.

The first apartments will be ready as soon as March 1. If you are interested, call 315-888-3015.
