Kennedy Building Apartments Receive Historic Tax Credits

POUA is thrilled that in April 2016 the Kennedy Building Apartments received another allocation of Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits in the amount of $200,000 for a total of $1.8 million in MAHRTC, which will be used towards the adaptive reuse of this historic structure into 37 affordable and middle-income apartments in Hanover which we anticipate will begin construction in early 2017.

Preserving Affordability in Chinatown: 48 Boylston Street

In partnership with St. Francis House, POUA plans to rehabilitate a designated Boston Landmark, the former BYMCU building located at 48 Boylston Street, to create 46 units of affordable housing in the Chinatown neighborhood of Boston. Later phases of the project are planned once the rehabilitation is complete, and will include additional affordable and moderate-income housing. POUA and St. Francis House have been meeting with various community groups over the past year to receive feedback on the project and gain support from local residents and businesses. On November 4th, we met with the Chinatown Resident Association (pictured) to discuss the project.
