Smith College and Economic Resources for Women (HER Inc.) formed a partnership to build this new 10,000 square foot house. The building contains 16-single room occupancy units, each with individual kitchenettes and bathrooms. The first floor has a 2-bedroom manager’s apartment as well as a living room, conference room and laundry room. The building has accessible units and uses green materials like concrete board siding and linoleum flooring. The majority of on-site trees were carefully saved and all storm water runoff was retained on site. The building was Energy Star certified and was designed to use energy efficiently and sustainably. Earle Street is a 16-unit rental property that includes 14 single person occupancy units and 2 apartments. All units receive project-based Section 8 rental assistance. Way Finders assumed property management responsibility in January 2012.
