BBH News: Summer 2022

New Construction in West Roxbury celebrated by State Leadership!
We are B’nai B’rith Housing (BBH) a regional nonprofit housing developer whose mission is to ease the housing crisis in the Greater Boston area.
Great News! The ground is broken, and the foundation is being laid at the first affordable housing complex to come to West Roxbury in 5 years!

This 60-unit complex is uniquely designed to support working families, and we’re very excited to be in the neighborhood.

Big thanks to our partners: MassHousing, City of Boston, Mayor’s Office of Housing, The Department of Housing and Community Development, Silicon Valley Bank, Eastern Bank, and Boston Financial for making this project possible!
And big thanks to City Councilor Ruthzee Louijeune for stopping by to check on the progress! Coming along great with a support system like ours!

“This project is very unique because we do need more affordable housing in West Roxbury, one, because it is a wonderful community and we really need people to be able to afford to live here. “

Sheila Dillon
Chief of Housing and Director, Mayor’s Office of Housing
“We want our seniors to also age with dignity and know that they can continue to live near their families and friends when they decide to retire or downsize.”  

Kendra Lara
Boston City Councilor

Meet our Residents: Anna

Anna can regularly be found chatting with fellow residents at coffee hours, setting up Chinese movie nights, or shopping with her friends. She loves that the staff – including two who are fluent in Mandarin – organize so many events, including important cultural customs, like the annual Moon Festival – “it’s my one of my favorite celebrations!” says Anna.

In Their Own Words…

Being able to stay in my hometown, near friends and family was great. And now I have a whole new community at The Coolidge to socialize with, too. It is wonderful!
