A once-vacant apartment complex in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood is now a symbol of hope and new beginnings.
City leaders joined local developer Odin Properties in a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday morning to welcome families into the newly renovated Kings Highway Apartments, a 31-unit affordable housing community along Frankford Avenue between Ann and Cambria streets.
Among the new residents are 15 families, some of whom are moving directly out of shelter care, including 37-year-old Claudia Mathieu and her three children.
“She just turned 4,” Mathieu said of her daughter, Emmy. “We kept going in and out of the shelter when she was one.”
Now, that chapter has ended.
