Miller's Court
Each year, the city of Baltimore hires as many as 1,000 new teachers. Finding fit and affordable housing in a new city can be a tremendous challenge.- Miller's Court is a mixed-use community designed especially for Baltimore’s teachers, and the organizations that support them and the communities they serve.
- Once a long-vacant tin box factory, Miller’s Court now bustles with energetic educators and a popular ground-floor café.
- Part of its office and retail space rent at a reduced rate to education-focused nonprofit organizations, such as Teach for America, that serve Baltimore City Public Schools.
- Built by Enterprise partner Seawall Development, received a $9.4 million New Markets Tax Credit allocation from Enterprise.
- Certified to the Gold level under the LEED® Green Building Rating System, Miller’s Court won a 2010 Smart Growth Achievement Award from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Renaissance Square
Renaissance Square is a new community in the Essex-Middle River area of Baltimore County.- The 17-acre site is connected to a major regional park developed by Baltimore County.
- The development includes 115 new homes for sale – 48 townhouses in two sizes, and 67 detached homes in three designs and sizes. An 81-unit senior apartment building, Evergreen, has also been developed by Enterprise Homes on site; it is owned by the Evergreen Senior Apartments Limited Partnership.
- The community employs traditional neighborhood design features to maintain an urban feel. Access to garages is through rear alley connections in most cases, and garages are detached from the homes.
- Exterior finishes reflect traditional housing types with front porches on many of the homes to encourage outdoor use and neighbor-to-neighbor interaction.
HIPPY Program (Home Instruction for Parents with Preschool Youngsters)
HIPPY is a program to prepare children and families for success in school.- HIPPY strengthens the role of the parent as the child’s first teacher by providing developmentally appropriate learning activities and demonstrating how parents can work with their children in the home.
- HIPPY uses a research-based curriculum proven effective for educational improvement.
- HIPPY is a three-year, 30-week per year curriculum delivered by paraprofessional Home Visitors, who develop supportive relationships with families and connect them to much-needed resources.
- The children receive books and school supplies, families connect to supportive services to ensure basic needs are met and parents learn about creating learning opportunities for their children.
