The City of Boston has opened Logan Square Residences, a new affordable housing community in Hyde Park for older adults. The grand opening, attended by city officials, community partners, and residents, highlights efforts to provide seniors with stable, affordable housing. The 63 new units include 7 reserved for seniors transitioning out of homelessness.
Chief of Housing Sheila A. Dillon said, "These 63 new homes in Logan Square mean more of our older residents can live full lives in the communities they have contributed to and know well," according to the City of Boston.
The residences include a fitness center, community room, and outdoor courtyard to support senior residents. The development aligns with Mayor Michelle Wu's efforts to expand affordable housing for older adults, with the Mayor's Office of Housing and partners helping bring the project to completion.
"Logan Square Residences is an example of what state, city, and community partners can achieve together to expand affordable housing," Massachusetts Housing Secretary Edward Augustus said in a statement, as per the City of Boston. The project supports seniors and is part of Mayor Wu's ongoing efforts to produce or begin construction on over 18,000 new homes in Boston, including thousands of income-restricted units.
Funding for the development came from city and state sources, as well as private and public partners. Redstone Equity Partners Director of Acquisitions Pete Flynn said, "Red Stone is excited to partner with B’nai B’rith Housing in their mission to expand affordable housing options in the Greater Boston communities they serve," according to the City of Boston.
The development provides affordable housing for seniors and supports sustainable, transit-oriented initiatives. Located near public transportation and the Hyde Park Library, Logan Square Residences offers residents convenient access to community amenities.
B'nai B'rith Housing, a regional nonprofit and partner in the Logan Square project, develops affordable homes that meet community needs. Their work has been recognized for helping address Boston's housing crisis.
