Whittier Street Phase 2A
Boston, MA
United States
This initiative seeks to provide healthy, safe, and accessible affordable housing to the Lower Roxbury community and transform the Whittier Street public housing development. Phase 2A consists of the new construction of two buildings with 52 residential units, of which 45 will be LIHTC units and seven will be workforce housing.
The development received federal Choice Neighborhood grants that support locally-driven strategies to address struggling neighborhoods with distressed public or HUD-assisted housing through a comprehensive approach to neighborhood transformation. When completed, the whole development will encompass approximately 386 mixed-income rental apartments and ground floor commercial space in one of the buildings.
