St. Stephen's Court Apartments
Project Description
For over thirty-five years, the St. Stephen’s Court Apartments has provided safe, decent, and affordable housing for the west Baltimore community of Coppin Heights. The 72-unit apartment complex was constructed in 1970 and has been well-maintained. All of the building’s major systems are in need of updating including the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC to ensure the development’s long term viability.
EHC has partnered with the St. Stephen’s Court Apartments to undertake the renovation of the apartments to ensure the preservation of this
important source of affordable housing in west Baltimore. The renovation will include replacing all the major systems and minor alterations to the
interior of the units, including re-designing the kitchen, bathrooms and
storage space. Additionally, 12 of the units will be made accessible for persons in wheelchairs. Currently all management functions take place in one of the dwelling units. As part of the renovations, a 2,500 square foot building will be constructed, which will provide management space and community meeting space.
