About Heritage Place

With help from the City of Savannah’s Urban Redevelopment Plan, Mercy Housing and its development partner, NorSouth Construction, redeveloped the historic Charity Hospital and the historic Florence Street School as affordable housing for families. Charity Hospital, built in 1931, was the first hospital in Savannah to train African American nurses and doctors. The building now contains 25 units of affordable housing.
