POUA and Fenway CDC Move Forward to Preserve Our Lady’s Guild House

POUA and Fenway CDC Move Forward to Preserve Our Lady’s Guild House

The Planning Office for Urban Affairs and Fenway Community Development Corporation (Fenway CDC), have signed an option agreement with Our Lady’s Guild House (OLGH), a long-time residential property for women located at 20 Charlesgate West, to purchase the property and preserve the building for permanent affordable housing in the Fenway neighborhood. The decision of the current owners, Our Lady’s Guild House, Inc., to sell the property provides an opportunity for Fenway CDC and the Planning Office to work with the City of Boston to preserve affordable homes in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston.  
 

With the support of the City’s Mayor’s Office of Housing, the Planning Office and Fenway CDC plan to redevelop the property as 100% permanent affordable housing and have committed to preserving the tenancies of long-term residents. They also plan to invest significantly in rehabilitating and renovating the OLGH property to create housing that is welcoming, inclusive, universally accessible, energy-efficient, supportive of healthy living, and rich in shared amenity spaces for residents.
