Community Preservation Act

$69 Million Investment to Create and Preserve more than 775 Income-Restricted Homes Across Boston In collaboration with the Neighborhood Housing Trust (NHT) and the Community Preservation Committee (CPC), Mayor Wu recommended funding to be awarded to projects that will create or preserve 826 housing units, with 775 designated as income-restricted homes. The $68.96 million in awards will support 14 developments spanning nine neighborhoods, utilizing various funding resources such as Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), Inclusionary Development Policy (IDP), HOME, Community Preservation Act (CPA), and Linkage. "Collaborating closely with community across neighborhoods, we're leveraging all available resources within the city to tackle Boston's housing challenges,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “These housing grants will strengthen our communities, enhance affordability, and continue to establish Boston as a home for current residents, families, and future generations. Thank you to the Neighborhood Housing Trust and the Community Preservation Committee for their partnership as we continue our efforts to build a Boston that is home for everyone." "Securing and nurturing affordable housing is the cornerstone for vitality and inclusivity in Boston’s neighborhoods," said Felicia Jacques, Chair of the Community Preservation Committee. "With escalating housing costs, many families and individuals face the reality of being priced out, leading to heightened displacement and diminishing diversity. The CPC is committed to channeling resources towards innovative, climate-resilient, affordable housing endeavors that create secure and nurturing homes for our community members."  Read the press release here.
