Intergenerational affordable housing project wins $50,000 award

The Marvin is a unique intergenerational facility that provides 52 seniors with affordable, interactive housing while offering three- and four-year olds early childhood education at The Marvin Children’s Center in Columbia, MD. A presence in the community for 12 years, The Marvin provides enriched services for the frail, but also offers a basic level of congregate housing services appropriate for seniors who may need only occasional help. Outdoor gardens are maintained by residents, and enhance the attractive setting of this property, an adaptive-reuse of a 19th Century school building.
