The facility has both one bedroom and efficiency apartments. 14 of the apartments are designed with special kitchens and bathrooms to meet the needs of residents in wheel chairs. The building has three elevators, two laundry rooms, two libraries, and a computer café. All apartments have kitchens equipped with a range, range hood, and refrigerator.

Emphasis has been placed on the safety and security of all residents. Exterior doors are alarmed to alert residents and staff of unauthorized entry. There is video monitoring in high traffic areas of the building. The lobby doors are monitored during normal business hours. There is also an on-site night manager to provide emergency coverage at nights and on weekends.

Tucker House has extensive community space available to all residents. All three floors have lounge areas. There is a multi-purpose room, a chapel, and a glassed in Veranda on the first floor. In addition, there is a secure courtyard, allowing residents to get fresh air in a safe environment.

Tucker House is owned by Urban Ministry Housing Development Corp., a sister corporation to Norfolk Urban Outreach Ministry. Both are non-profit entities with oversight from volunteer boards.

Tucker House was made possible through funding by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
