Through a joint venture, THC Affordable Housing, Inc. (THCAH), an affiliate of Transitional Housing Corporation (THC), and Somerset Development Company, LLC purchased and completed renovations of the Fort View Apartments and Webster Garden Apartments, both in Ward 4. The two properties provide a total of 114 new units of affordable rental housing. Both properties have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places and their historic character has been preserved as part of the substantial rehabilitation. To facilitate a program of supportive resident services, community spaces and a computer lab at each property were included in the renovations.
Webster Gardens, a 52 unit apartment complex, is located near the Old Soldier’s Home. The renovations restored and preserved the historic character of the four buildings complex, abated the extensive environmental hazards that existed there, provides new community spaces to facilitate resident services and provide new, more efficient heating and cooling systems, and kitchens and baths. The project preserves affordable housing for 28 original households, many of whom are seniors, and secure affordability for them for the future.
