Thursday, June 18, 2026; The Arch at St. Michael, 3146 Scranton Avenue: The former St. Michael High School building and St. Michael’s Convent now provide housing for senior citizens         

   (Plain Press July 2026) The Arch at St. Michael, a development project recently completed at 3146 Scranton Road, provides apartments for senior citizens age 62 and older. The project, developed by CHN Housing Partners along with Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing, transformed the former St. Michael’s High School and the former St. Michael’s Convent into apartment buildings. A description available on the CHN Housing Partners website says the project has created 36 one-bedroom apartments in the former high school and 12 one-bedroom apartments in the former convent.

   The CHN Housing Partners description of the one-bedroom apartments says each apartment has one bedroom and one bathroom. The units also have a kitchen (with appliances included), a living room, and will be furnished with heat and air conditioning.

   The Arch at St. Michael has additional amenities available for all residents and guests. These include bathrooms, a kitchen, Social Service Coordinator Office, laundry facilities, a fitness room, wellness room, media and library room and ample community space.

   The information on the website says the building is owned and managed by CHN Housing Partners. It promises that residents will receive support to age in place. CHN Housing Partners promises to keep residents appraised as to who to call with any issues or complaints. It says it promises to work to actively build relationships with immediate neighbors.

   CHN promises to have strong onsite management and build relationships with the police and City of Cleveland to help increase security. CHN also plans to offer space in the building for neighborhood block club meetings.

   CHN Housing Partners Communications Project Manager Clare Snape-Gwin says, “Arch at Saint Michael was completed a few months back.” She says the building is fully leased, and they are no longer accepting applications. Snape-Gwin says plans are currently underway to have a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Arch at St. Michael in early September.
