Jack Kemp Excellence in Affordable and Workforce Housing Awards 2024 Winner: The Laureate
The Laureate is a 268 unit mixed-income model for public-private partnerships in Montgomery County, Maryland.
July 26, 2024
Morton Station Village is a transit-oriented development that created a variety of opportunities for tenure and wealth-building through a combination of rental and homeownership
housing in one building. The development consists of 40 units of mixed-income, mixed-tenure housing — 28 rental apartments and 12 affordable homeownership units — built in a four-story building on the long-vacant site that was formerly the home of the Boston Police Department.
Morton Station Village provides much-needed housing for a diverse range of households with incomes from 30% AMI to 100% AMI. Located adjacent to an MBTA station, Morton Station Village not only responded to the affordable housing crisis in Massachusetts by developing new affordable rental and homeownership housing opportunities, but also re-activated a long-vacant site. Created in collaboration with the community, Morton Station Village also includes significant community space that will be connected to a unique feature—the creation of a new passive Boston Parks’ Department designed public space to be known as the Steven P. Odom Serenity Garden.
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
Developers: Planning Office for Urban Affairs and Caribbean Integration Community Development
