East Boston Ecumenical Community Council Library
Boston, MA
United States
East Boston Community Development Corporation renovated and adapted a former branch of the Boston Public Library for use by multiple nonprofit organizations. The renovated building gives EBECC 40% more space which will enable the nonprofit to increase the numbers served and enhance the quality of its programming. Other building tenants include East Boston Neighborhood Health Center’s fitness and nutrition programs, Veronica Robles Cultural Center, providing youth leadership and dance programs and multi-cultural events, and Urban College, offering low-cost post-secondary education for working adults.
Founded more than forty years ago, the EBCDC serves East Boston’s low-income community through business development and technical assistance; affordable housing and commercial real estate development; property management; job creation and social services.
