Air Force Enlisted Village
The Air Force Enlisted Village was founded in 1967. It provides a safe, secure and dignified place for surviving spouses of retired Air Force personnel. The Village’s primary goal is to provide a home to these residents. The surviving spouse with the greatest need is cared for first. No one in need is refused help. Low pay and frequent military moves leave some spouses without careers, homes, retirement plans or significant assets. Surviving spouses needing financial help live here among peers. They share memories of Air Force life without the stigma normally associated with low rent housing.
There are two independent apartment Villages and one assisted living facility. Please see the website for more information.
