Maryce Freelen Place, an affordable housing community for families,
was the result of a partnership between MidPen Housing and the City
of Mountain View. Once wracked by crime, gang activity and problems
of deferred maintenance, the
apartment complex once known as
Latham Park became a top priority
for improvement for city ofcials.
MidPen answered the call for help
and undertook a major rehabilitation
process that included the installation
of new kitchens, bathrooms, and
ooring. The buildings received
new interior and exterior paint,
landscaping, and stairway systems that were safer and more attractive. As the community improved, many properties in the surrounding area
were also rehabilitated, making the neighborhood a safer place to live.
The community’s new management also impacted residents’ lives, as criminal activity signicantly lowered and problem households were
evicted. Additionally, MidPen Resident Services provides Maryce Freelen residents with social programs that help elevate quality of life and
opportunity.
Once the transformation from Latham Park to Maryce Freelen Place was complete, the community was recognized with a Mayor’s Award from
the City of Mountain View.
