“We know one thing is for certain, what brings residents to Northfield Apartments is their Caldwell connection,” says Dawn Stevenson, Northfield property manager and site supervisor for Futures Unlimited Inc., the property’s owner and manager. “Ties to this area continue to be our biggest selling point,” Stevenson remarks.

Constructed in 1994 as an income-based HUD project for qualifying individuals, Northfield Apartments offers 20 one-bedroom ground-level apartments situated around a clubhouse at 400 W Avenue E in Caldwell on an inviting 27-acre setting. Individuals experiencing an ongoing physical or other disability and in need of affordable housing are invited to apply.

Stevenson, who has served in her current capacity for the past 15 years, feels Northfield offers a camaraderie among the residents not easily found in more traditional apartment settings in other communities. “Having a clubhouse for folks to gather or pop in gives us all an opportunity to get to know one another better,” says Stevenson, whose office is staffed during most daytime hours, seven days per week. “While we are often here in the capacity of Futures Unlimited’s support service,” Stevenson continues, “this living situation allows us to be accessible to all residents, outside of office hours.”

Dawn is joined by two other staff members and lifelong Caldwell residents, Dana Dick and Kari Dvorak. “I have really enjoyed the relationships I’ve developed working out here,” says Dick. “I’ve made lots of new friends and t’s a positive, welcoming environment here–that’s one of the many reasons I enjoy what I do at Northfield.”

Chamber presents Futures with award on behalf of Kansas Department of Commerce
Futures Unlimited was the regional award winner for the South Central region for the non-traditional talent pool category for 2022. This award went to companies that have gone above and beyond to hire veterans, those with prior involvement in the justice system, youth, seniors or individuals with disabilities.

There were two regional Sumner County winners and seven merit award recipients among 10 possible categories.

Futures was presented with the award at the chamber’s recent annual celebration banquet.

February 2, 2023 – When Sumner County Hospital and Caldwell Family Clinic opened to the public on January 30th, they needed a way to transport non-ambulatory patients while the EMS vehicle was needed elsewhere. “Julie Hutchinson contacted me with the hospital and requested our help,” says transit coordinator, Judy Joseph. “We sent Eldon down to get folks to the new site. We’re glad to be able to assist.”

The new site, located one-half mile east of Caldwell on highway 81, is officially open, offering all clinic, outpatient and ER services.
