History

One of the remaining buildings

Laurel Homes was established in 1938 with 1303 units of low income housing. An adjacent property of 1015 units, Lincoln Court, opened in 1942 to black families only.[2] Apartments at Laurel Homes were leased to both white and to lesser degree, black, families, making it nominally one of the first integrated housing projects in the United States.[3]

Laurel Homes was the second largest Public Works Administration public housing project in the country.[4]
