The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) has played a pivotal role in facilitating this project, empowering Green Street Housing to address unique challenges at each property.

Riverside Homes, originally constructed as public housing, will be extensively modernised using the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Rental Assistance Demonstration programme, including a shift to high-efficiency electric systems in place of gas heating and appliances.

This decarbonisation effort is part of the first wave of Maryland’s affordable housing sector’s adoption of the Multifamily Energy Efficiency and Housing Affordability Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program (MEEHA GHGRP).

Meanwhile, Mitchell Landing, facing considerable legal and structural issues, will undergo a full renovation to tackle building deterioration, ensuring safe and comfortable homes for its inhabitants.
