Welcome to West Concord
94 West Newton Street, South End |
Over the past several years, the BHA has collaborated with a number of community development corporations to reclaim public housing that had fallen into disrepair or vacancy. In the process, the partners have accessed innovative funding that would not have been available to the BHA, and they have preserved 184 units of affordable housing throughout the neighborhoods of Roxbury, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain and the South End of Boston.
The historic Albemarle and Chatham Hotels make up two of the four buildings known as the West Concord development. The 68 apartments in these four buildings, located on different blocks in the South End neighborhood, were redeveloped by two local organizations that were able to assemble a financing package that included state and local resources, low-income housing and historic preservation tax credits. Returning to its early history, the property took on its original name as Interfaith Apartments and residents returned to their newly renovated apartments in the Summer of 2004.
Properties known as the “Infills,” made up of 26 two-family duplex and two single-family homes on lots in Roxbury and Dorchester, were redeveloped by four local Community Development Corporations that worked together to coordinate a common approach. Beginning in 2003, the CDCs involved took title to the various properties and began renovations. The first completed units were sold to low-income families, including several former BHA residents in 2004.
