Enlightenment Plaza will transform an empty surface lot into an innovative Permanent Supportive Housing development with 387 units for the formerly homeless in the Rampart Village neighborhood.
Enlightenment Plaza’s holistic approach will create a meaningful path out of homelessness for residents by providing a foundation for housing stability, mental and physical health, employment and school attendance.
The plaza is designed with the vision of creating a peaceful, supportive setting with access to the necessary services and resources to be located on the property for its residents, all within a few hundred feet of the Metro Red Line transportation center at Beverly and Vermont.
