Finding Home and Community at Water Garden Park
When Mardia Stephenson talks about Water Garden Park, she doesn’t just describe an apartment community – she describes home. Mardia moved to Water Garden Park in 2014, right when the senior community first opened. More than a decade later, she still remembers how it felt on move-in day: welcoming, seamless, and ready for her to begin a new chapter. “Everything was perfect,” she recalled. “It felt like it was meant to be.”
Community Comes Together to Help Residents Displaced by Fire
On Sunday, August 31, 2025, a fire devastated Adair Place Apartments, one of our communities in Goldsboro, NC. The fire displaced 50 residents, many of whom lost most, if not all, of their belongings. “When we hear about a tragedy like this, our team immediately connects with partners to assess the situation and see how we can help,” said Stefanie Lee, Community Relations Manager for CAHEC.
CAHEC Provides Nearly 50,000 Meals to Families in Need
In 2025, CAHEC supported the community through its Nutrition Assistance Initiative by sponsoring three food box distributions. These events provided nearly 50,000 meals to families in need during a challenging time, as temporary pauses in SNAP benefits left many households with fewer resources to put food on the table.
