Sturgeon Place

Sturgeon Place, a partnership between Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH) and 3i HoME, is designing a fully-accessible affordable residential building in Scarborough, Maine. Our building will be located in the Town Center at The Downs. Our community of affordable rental apartments will be home to 51 households in which at least one member is disabled. In addition to the private rental apartments, the project will feature a common living area for social activities, a designated work space for service providers and a mobility and assistive technology hub.

The apartments will be designed according to principles of Universal Design for easy mobility with or without a wheelchair. Bathrooms, kitchens and all living areas will be barrier free and the entire building will be wired for adaptable environmental controls and smart home functionality.
