In August 2017, Victory Housing, Inc., Brinshore Development LLC, and Banc of America CDC were selected by the District of Columbia Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development through a competitive RFP process to redevelop the former Hebrew Home and Paul Robeson School sites. The resulting Spring Flats master development is an innovative mixed-income, multi-component redevelopment creating a total of 185 residential units, 80% of which are affordable to seniors and families. This inter-generational mixed-income community includes both rental and homeownership opportunities on a 3.3-acre transit-oriented campus. The redevelopment includes three main components: 1) Spring Flats Senior (or The Appleton): The adapted reuse of the historic Hebrew Home into 88 units of affordable rental housing for seniors. The Appleton includes 14 units of permanent supportive housing for the formerly homeless (PSH). 2) Spring Flats Family (or The Robeson): New construction of 87 units of mixed-income family housing on the site of the former Paul Robeson School, including 9 PSH units. The project provides the broad range of economic diversity that makes this a truly mixed-income community. 3) Spring Flats Townhomes (or Spring Flats Rows): New construction of 10 for-sale townhome units on the site of the former Paul Robeson School. The Spring Flats Community also involves a fourth component, the reconstruction, and rededication of a portion of 10th Street NW between Spring Road and Quebec Place. In addition, the Spring Flats Community brought the neighborhood a new publicly accessible pocket park, public art installations, and a community meeting space.​​
