First financial and spacial design studies for a campus or dormitories concept for young homeless adults.
A lot of homeless youngsters are aging out the kids programs and are more or less forced to create their own nomadic existence in the streets of Boston. There are in between 20 to 50 homeless young people who have no permanent residence in the area of Roxbury.
Youth and young adults from families with modest incomes denied the option of attending college and living in a dormitory miss out on this important transitional experience. Many do leave the family home. In fact some are pushed out or leave due to economic and other challenges within the family.
This study is commissioned by Mossik Hacobian from Higher Ground Boston (in cooperation with Teen Empowerment).
This Boston Architecture College studio was guided by Jasper Campshure and Sky Milner.
