Shirley Meadows by 2Life

2Life’s newest property, Shirley Meadows, is a 58-apartment, 100% affordable senior housing project on MassDevelopment’s Devens campus in the town of Shirley, MA. The beautifully designed property expands 2Life’s footprint to include central MA and meets a tremendous regional need for senior supportive housing. 2Life acquired the property when the former owner, the Women’s Institute for Housing and Economic Development (WIHED), closed its doors in 2021. The site is currently managed by the Chelmsford Housing Authority who provides on-site management and resident services. The current building also includes a small wellness suite which WIHED had developed for an anticipated PACE partnership with Fallon Health. In addition to this building, 2Life has also begun to develop an expansion of Shirley Meadows - a second building, already zoned for 62 senior apartments.
