Brighton Campus of 2Life Communities

The Brighton Campus of 2Life Communities is a cluster of affordable senior housing communities in Brighton: Kurlat House, Leventhal House, Ulin House, Weinberg House and J.J. Carroll House. Each building has its own character, but residents share events, classes, local trips and outdoor and indoor gathering spaces as one community. 2Life’s aging-in-community model pairs housing seniors can afford with services meant to reduce isolation and help residents stay in place as long as possible.

Services that are unusual for affordable senior housing include care coordination, lifelong learning lectures and workshops, fitness and wellness programs, technology training, and resident services coordinators who connect people with benefits and outside help. Campus life includes cultural celebrations, art classes and exhibits, gardening, community meals, dances, ping-pong and concerts. Residents across 2Life come from 42 countries and speak 22 languages, and holidays from Chinese New Year to Passover and Christmas are celebrated.
