MONARCH VILLIAGE

Rockhill and Associates was the architect of record for this Studio 804 project.

Monarch Village on the property of the Lawrence Community Shelter (LCS) is an innovative shelter solution that meets the needs of families experiencing homelessness in a rapidly changing world while supporting their transition to permanent housing. Across the nation, homeless shelters struggle with providing safe, trauma-informed environments for families and individuals in transition. Working through the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic Studio 804 donated and built 12 safe, easy to staff dwellings that offer much needed privacy for families. It is hoped that this project will be a precedent supporting the movement away from housing the homeless in gymnasium-like rooms full of bunk beds.
