Description
Sojourner Place at Oliver is a collaborative venture between Episcopal Housing Corporation and Health Care for the Homeless to build a 90,000 square foot multi-family building totaling 70 units in the Oliver neighborhood of Baltimore City. 35 of the high-quality housing units are leased to residents exiting homelessness, while the other 35 are leased to residents with incomes below 50% of area median income. The project includes 37 one-bedroom, 18 two-bedroom, and 15 three-bedroom units. Sojourner Place at Oliver also features on-site property and case management services as well as multiple community spaces such as a multi-purpose lounge and exercise studio.
The project has a unique design that takes advantage of the site topography. We utilized the site’s triangular shape to locate our community and management spaces with dramatic views of downtown Baltimore and the Johns Hopkins medical campus. Sojourner Place at Preston builds on the recent positive development momentum in the surrounding community.
Episcopal Housing Corporation and Health Care for the Homeless broke ground on the project in September of 2021. The project was completed on October 31, 2022.
The ownership interests and management responsibilities of Health Care for the Homeless are carried out by the HCH Real Estate Company team.

Description
The objective of Sojourner Place at Park is to breathe new life into long-vacant buildings by creating a thriving residential community while preserving the site’s historical essence.
Sojourner Place at Park will be a 48,000 square foot multi-family building in the historic Five and Dime District of Baltimore City’s downtown. The project incorporates 111 Park Ave and five adjacent properties (102-106 N Liberty St, 142-144 W Fayette St) into one cohesive residential community. By opening the party walls between a newly constructed building at 144 W Fayette and five redeveloped historic buildings, we create a unified structure producing 42 one-bedroom units priced affordably for households with incomes ranging from 70% of Area Median Income (AMI) to 30% or less. The building features an engaging, community-facing ground level residential lobby, elevator, controlled access, amenity rooms, and a commercial retail space.

Description
In early 2024, Baltimore City used American Rescue Plan funds to acquire two hotels—the Holiday Inn Express located in the historic Old National Bank Building at 221 N Gay St and the Sleep Inn at 300 N Front St—for conversion to Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). In October 2024, the City selected the development team of Episcopal Housing Corporation, HCH Real Estate Co. and Beacon Communities to redevelop the site. Our development partnership is now working diligently to develop plans for the adaptive reuse of the Old National Bank Building and the replacement of the former Sleep Inn and adjoining parking lot with a newly constructed four-story building that, together, will total 113 units for affordable housing with 92 units of PSH as well as resident amenities.
