Washington Court involves the adaptive reuse of the Dubuque Casket Company Company into 36 affordable rental housing units. The units will be occupied by tenants at or below 60% of the area median income. As a response to a significant demand for handicapped accessible living units, 25%, or nine of the units will be designed and equipped to meet the needs of persons with sensory and mobility impairments.

A collaborative agreement with the Dubuque Visiting Nurses Assoc. will deliver services, which will help disabled residents to live independently. The rehabilitation of the four-story structure will incorporate the housing units within the upper three floors. The ground floor space is made available for a community room and to local service/nonprofit organizations/schools/offices including the Crescent Community Health Center, all serving the north end. Parking will consist of 88 spaces. Total project costs for the restoration of the Dubuque Casket Co. building is estimated at 5.6 million dollars.
