Homes Build Hope

PROJECT INFORMATON

Work on the exciting Mary Street Revitalization project — which will provide affordable two- and three-bedroom rental homes in Latrobe — is expected to wrap up in December 2021, and units will be available to income-eligible tenants in early 2022.

Homes Build Hope, Inc. partnered with the county to redevelop a blighted area of Latrobe to create an attractive and affordable multi-unit rental complex. This project got underway in 2017 when HBH began to acquire 12 properties along a two-block stretch of Mary Street. Once HBH owned all the properties, a county grant provided demolition funding to remove the blighted structures and prepare the site for redevelopment.

After several delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic, construction began in early 2021 to build two triplex buildings, each with a three-bedroom unit and two two-bedroom units.
