This thesis will explore solutions to the affordable housing crisis in West Baltimore by providing affordable housing options for low income residents. By investigating the history of housing discrimination and neighborhood inequity, this thesis seeks to understand the reasoning behind the abundance of vacant homes that are dispersed throughout the city. These disinvested neighborhoods will be shaped by affordable and sustainable architecture. Ultimately, this thesis strives to reignite Baltimore’s vibrant culture and provide stable homes for the communities that have been disproportionately affected and ignored by the City.
