Gwinnett Christian Terrace

What Gwinnett Christian Terrace does

Gwinnett Christian Terrace (GCT) is a non-profit, federally subsidized senior housing organization operating a single 125-unit, six-story apartment community at 414 Berkmar Way NW in Lilburn, Georgia. The organization operates under the HUD Section 202/8 Program, which provides capital advance financing and ongoing project-based rental assistance for affordable housing serving very low-income elderly households. GCT serves two eligibility-defined resident segments: seniors aged 62 and older, and mobility-disabled individuals aged 18 and older who meet the program's income limits ($63,950 for single persons, $73,100 for two-person households). Applicants must join the open Elderly or Mobility Disabled waiting list and submit preliminary applications in person during business hours.

The core product is the residential apartment itself: each one-bedroom unit is equipped with an electric stove, refrigerator, carpet, tile flooring, and mini-blinds, with water, heat, and electricity included in rent. Residents provide their own furnishings. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations are supported by a Weebly-hosted website, a PDF-based preliminary application form (2023 version), and standard property-management workflows. The activity program, including exercise classes three days per week, weekly Wii bowling, BINGO, music programs, painting classes, on-site church services, quarterly birthday luncheons, and bi-weekly shopping trips via a 10-passenger van, functions as a community engagement layer rather than a standalone product.

The business model is rental revenue under federal subsidy. Tenants pay 30% of their verified monthly gross income toward rent, with HUD project-based rental assistance covering the gap between tenant contribution and HUD-approved contract rent. Supplementary revenue is generated through charitable donations solicited via a DonorPerfect giving portal linked from the website. The four-person staff, led by Community Administrator Kifanie Thompson-Moore, manages property operations, resident services, and maintenance. GCT is affiliated with sister community Decatur Christian Towers through shared non-profit governance and holds memberships in LeadingAge Georgia and LeadingAge national.
