Developed in partnership with Magnificat Houses, Inc., the $45 million project offers wraparound services, 24-hour staffing, and space for healing. Named for MHI founder Rose Mary Badami, the development was called “a place of hope and dignity” by Council Member Carolyn Evans-Shabazz. With support from the City of Houston, Harris County, and other funders, this project exemplifies how collaboration can create long-term solutions for chronic homelessness.
In Baltimore, The Terraces at Park Heights marked the first phase of a $400 million revitalization of the historically disinvested Park Heights neighborhood. The $52 million senior housing community delivers 100 affordable one- and two- bedroom homes, powered by solar energy and enriched with on-site amenities including a maker space, fitness center, and public art installations celebrating Baltimore’s horse racing legacy. NHPF and partner Henson Development are also planning future phases. Governor Wes Moore called it “the next chapter in our work to transform the city.”
In New Haven, Curtis Cofield II Estates brought 56 new affordable and energy-efficient homes to the West River neighborhood. The $30 million development includes supportive housing, “missing middle” units, a community center, and future retail space—all part of reconnecting a neighborhood once fractured by disinvestment and infrastructure projects. “Thanks to West River SHIP and its partners, we now have a place where working families, formerly homeless residents, and people with disabilities can all thrive together in an inclusive, affordable community,” said Mayor Justin Elicker. Each development reflects NHPF’s core mission: to create sustainable, inclusive, and service-enriched housing through strong public-private partnerships. From helping Houston’s most vulnerable find stability, to revitalizing Baltimore’s Park Heights, to delivering opportunity and affordability in New Haven, these projects exemplify what’s possible when community vision meets commitment and investment.
