Latham Partners with Brewster Housing Authority on New Housing Plan
Posted Oct 04 2009 11:13pm
Almost 5 years ago, Latham began a dialogue with the Brewster Housing Authority to find ways of working more collaboratively. As neighbors, Latham School campus abuts the Housing Authority’s property. After discussing a variety of initiatives, the idea of creating housing designed for the individuals we support came to fruition.
We are currently in the planning stages of developing an 8-unit apartment complex with two wings, each consisting of 2 single-bedroom and 2 two-bedroom apartments. Each unit will be equipped with assistive technology to augment the support of the individuals residing there, providing many with the opportunity to live independently in a supported environment. We anticipate the opening of these apartments spring of 2010!
