BBH June Newsletter 2025: Hard Hat Tour and Wonderful Additions!


Welcome to the latest edition of the B’nai B’rith Housing newsletter! We’re excited to share updates, helpful resources, and inspiring news from our communities. At the core of it all is our ongoing dedication to improving the lives of our residents — and we can’t wait for you to see what’s new.

Hard Hat Tour Highlights Progress at 1201 River Street

The 1201 River Street development in Hyde Park has reached 70% completion, advancing our mission to expand affordable senior housing. During a recent hard hat tour with City Council President Ruthzee Louijeune, State Representative Rob Consalvo, City Councilor Enrique J. Pepen, and board members David Abromowitz and Molly Goodman, we showcased progress on 63 affordable units for residents aged 55 and older. Construction completion is expected later this year. We thank our board, city leaders, and partners for their ongoing support.

Amazing Commercial Space for Lease

We are looking to lease our high-visibility commercial space. The development includes space ideally located in the heart of the Logan Square business district. Please help spread the word about this great opportunity to join a vibrant community!

Community Corner: Building Connections and Fostering Growth

Mother’s Day is a special day at all our communities. At the Machon in Swampscott, residents had a wonderful time crafting beautiful flower arrangements to have and to share. This hands-on celebration not only honored the mothers in the community but also fostered connection and purpose. Thank you to all our residents who contributed to this special day.


Stay connected with us for future updates, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or suggestions. Together, we will continue to make B’nai B’rith Housing a place to call home.

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!
