Lynn YMCA
Lynn, MA
United States
Built in 1974, the existing Lynn Y’s outdated facilities were not able to accommodate the need for new and expanded programs identified through a multi-year community outreach and project planning effort. MHIC provided $4.85 million in NMTC financing as one of four CDEs financing the construction of a new $25.4 million, 70,000- square foot building on an adjacent parcel acquired from the city of Lynn. The original facility will eventually be renovated in a subsequent phase and used primarily as a Youth Development Center.
For nearly 150 years the Lynn YMCA has been an anchor of the Lynn community, bringing together diverse populations through programs and services focused on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Serving more than 20,000 people annually, the Lynn Y offers everything from aquatics programs, transitional housing and early childcare programs to teen job training, health screening clinics for families, and healthy meals for over 500 children.
