In each city we seek to collaborate with local stakeholders to design their own solutions. The methodologies we employ can meet the needs of each community. Our B.O.L.D. social impact objective is to address inequities through the power of design.

Bronx
Theory of Place Design is actively seeking community partnerships in the Bronx to address the ever-increasing housing shortage and the impact on unaccompanied youth.
Oakland
Between 2007 and 2012 over 35,000 homes were lost due to foreclosure. Oakland was one of the communities severely impacted by the housing crisis, resulting in one of the nation’s largest homeless populations. We are actively seeking community partner relationships in the city. Our social impact objective is to reduce housing disparities effecting the city’s youth.
Los Angeles
In Los Angeles, the city’s diversity is a major asset. We are excited to develop and work with local eco-system to address housing inequities impacting youth in the city. Our social impact goal is to remove barriers and expand opportunities for safe stable housing through community design.
Detroit
Like most cities Detroit has had a long-standing urban housing crisis. It is another U.S. city where housing challenges have affected the public health outcomes of the corona virus. We look forward to creating partner relationships in the city to address youth housing. Our social impact goal is to develop through community design safe stable housing for homeless youth.
Baltimore
We are honored to have worked with the Baltimore States Attorney on the trauma informed design of the Victims and Witnesses Waiting Area in the Mitchell Courthouse. The space has been transformational for those who are experiencing the criminal justice system.
