The Lamp Lodge is the realization of The People Concern and Meta Housing Corporation’s shared vision of razing the original, cramped, obsolete 50-unit Lamp Lodge and replacing it with a new 82-unit amenity-rich Lamp Lodge into which tenants of the original Lamp Lodge returned to resume their lives. The People Concern has been involved with the property since the early 90s, and in 2017, recognizing that the property was in severe disrepair and offered no accessible features, they approached Meta Housing Corporation to demolish the original building and completely rebuild the Lodge.

In their joint effort, Meta Housing and The People Concern transformed The Lodge into a beautifully designed and modernized 82-unit community, boasting a central courtyard, community room, garden boxes, modern security system, and full laundry service room, with accessibility features and accessible units available.
