COLLABORATION WITH MI CASA

This evening I attended a rooftop reception and fundraiser to support Mi Casa hosted by the law firm Reno & Cavanaugh helped to support Mi Casa's mission to provide affordable housing to low and moderate-income households in Washington, DC and Baltimore. Inscape made a contribution of $250. Atop the roof at 455 Massachusetts Avenue, NW we were serenaded by a jazz trio while enjoying views of the US Capitol and the Washington Monument. A glass of white wine cooled the body on this warm early summer evening.
Currently Inscape Studio, Inscape Publico's sister firm, is collaborating with Mia Casa on the design and renovation of 60 units in NE Washington, DC. Pleasant Park Cooperative is composed of 60 two-bedroom townhouses situated around a series of courtyards. With Mi Casa's assistance and a DHCD loan, the tenants purchased and are developing their homes as a limited equity cooperative. It's a pleasure working with Mia Casa and the tenants of PPC on this important project.
