About Patuxent Commons
A partnership between Mission First Housing and the Howard County Autism Society, Patuxent Commons is a 76-unit mixed income apartment development with 25% of units set aside for individuals with disabilities and a 40% preference for seniors.
Located in suburban Columbia, MD, the development is located near transit and shopping to facilitate independent living for residents.

Using coUrbanize, the Patuxent Commons team:
- Reached beyond abutters to activate community members who were unaware of the project
- Demonstrated that the concerns of neighbors had been addressed
- Mobilized silent supporters to testify in support of the project online and at in-person hearings
We were able to use the data and feedback from coUrbanize to show that we had addressed concerns, and we ended up getting unanimous City Council support for the project.
