Levedo Building, Dorchester
Great place to start Lakisha Jordan and Darryl Huggins represent Gail Latimore’s vision for Codman Square. In 2011, they were living with Darryl’s parents in Dorchester. Fresh out of college, they had jobs but wanted to find an affordable apartment. They found one in the Levedo Building, developed by Codman Square NDC with financing from MHP. Here, they have built a life. Darryl is a program manager at Children’s Services of Roxbury. Lakisha is an adolescent counselor for the state. Quincee goes to a charter school and plays football for the Dorchester Mighty Mites. They love their apartment, use the train to get to work, have saved money and are ready to buy a home. “It’s time for a dog, a yard and more kids,” said Darryl. “We have lots of great memories here. This is the best start we could’ve asked for.”
