Broadway Homes Scattered Site project required surveying and upgrading 58 previously market-rate, single-family homes into public housing rental units scattered throughout the Greater Metropolitan Region and integrated within “communities of opportunity,” defined by community health, economic opportunity, and educational opportunity. The project was in response to a consent decree, which found fault with HUD for failure to provide adequate housing to low-income residents and perpetuated the hyper-concentration of poverty in Baltimore. The implementation of scattered site housing utilizes available housing stock throughout the city to deconcentrate poverty and provide dignified homes for all throughout our neighborhoods.
The work was completed with residents in place, incorporating energy-efficient systems to minimize utility costs and utilize durable materials, ensuring longevity and low maintenance for both residents and management.
