The rehabilitation of market-rate, single-family homes into public housing rental units scattered throughout the City 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.

Twopoint Studio worked with the owner and three general contractors to complete construction of 94 homes under budget and within a twelve month period during the pandemic and under strict COVID-19 protocol.  Project scopes included energy-efficient systems minimizing utility costs and utilization of durable materials ensuring longevity and low maintenance for the resident and management.
