NEW YORK: The one hundred and ninety-eighth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
The city of Boston is providing $28 million in federal and local money to fund the development and preservation of hundreds of affordable housing units across six city neighborhoods.
Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh on Tuesday said the city’s department of neighborhood development will award $21 million in federal and local money, while Boston’s neighborhood housing trust will provide $7 million in linkage funds to create 584 units and preserve 253 units of existing affordable and low-income housing.
The $28 million in funding will be spread across a dozen projects in Chinatown, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, Roxbury and South Boston, the city said. Those 12 projects represent a total of $323 million in public and private investment.
