Chicago, IL
Woodlawn Station was the last phase in POAH's Woodlawn Choice Initiative, a broad effort to rebuild and revitalize the Woodlawn community, and encourage re-investment in this South Side neighborhood of Chicago.
Washington, DC
The Barry Farm neighborhood is located off Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE, west of historic Anacostia in Washington, D.C. and was originally established in 1867 as the first African-American homeownership community in Washington, D.C. for newly freed slaves. Over time, the original 375-acre site dwindled in size and in 1943 The National Capital Housing Authority acquired 24 acres and built the Barry Farm public housing project.
Boston, MA
The Flat 9 at Whittier redevelopment is a collaboration between POAH, Madison Park Development Corporation and the Boston Housing Authority to redevelop the Whittier Street Apartments site in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. Originally built in the early 1950s, the Whittier Apartments were home to 200 public housing families.
