Since 2015, the Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC) has converted several of its public housing sites under the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development's Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. A benefit of the RAD program is that major renovations to aging buildings are made through private investment to preserve affordable housing and improve the quality of life for low-income residents.
RAD Conversion – Phase I and II
The properties that were selected for Phases I and II of HABC’s RAD conversions consisted mainly of mixed-population buildings. To date, 20 RAD renovations are currently underway or have been completed, including:
- The Ellerslie Apartments
- The Brentwood Apartments
- Bernard E. Mason
- Hollins House
- The Wyman House
- Pleasant View Gardens (senior building)
- Pleasant View Gardens Townhomes
- Hillside Park Apartments
- The Terraces Senior Building
- Monument East
- Primrose Place
- Bel Park Tower
- Lakeview Towers
- Broadway Overlook
- Govans Manor
- Chase House
- McCulloh Homes Extension
- The Allendale Apartments
- Herritage Crossing
- J. Van Story Branch
