MPDC Awarded MGH Community Health Impact Funds

Kelly Lydon — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 14:20:52 +0000

MPDC is pleased to announce that we have received Massachusetts General Hospital, part of the Mass General Brigham health system, Community Health Impact Funds. With these funds, MPDC will pilot an innovative homeownership advancement model utilizing a new financing tool that will create a clear pathway for low- and moderate-income MPDC tenants to build savings toward a down payment over the course of two years.

This funding is part of $18 million in Community Health Impact Funds that has been awarded to 22 local organizations to support affordable housing initiatives in Boston and North Suffolk County. The Phillip and Susan Ragon Building, a multi-year construction project that will result in a state-of-the-art clinical care building on the MGH campus, triggered this landmark investment through the Massachusetts Determination of Need (DoN) process.

“Housing insecurity and substandard housing are strongly linked to health conditions like cardiovascular disease, asthma, and chronic stress,” said David Brown, MD, Mass General Brigham’s President, Academic Medical Centers. “We are so pleased for the opportunity to invest in and partner with these community-based organizations offering life- and health-altering solutions to the housing crisis in Suffolk County.”

MPDC is thrilled to introduce this new model for innovative homeownership advancement, which will simultaneously address the shortage of affordable rental units by opening income-restricted MPDC rental units as current tenants transition into their own homes. Lease to Legacy is an exciting facet of MPDC’s new strategic plan, which outlines a three year commitment to advancing asset and community wealth-building for MPDC residents and the Roxbury neighborhood.

“The housing crisis in our state and across the country is felt most acutely in historically marginalized communities,” said Leslie Aldrich, MPH, Mass General Brigham’s Executive Director for Community Health. “The 22 proposals chosen reflect an equitable, multi-pronged approach to benefitting those most impacted by housing insecurity—unhoused populations, LGBTQ+, immigrants, domestic violence survivors, communities of color, and more.”

MPDC’s 2022 Annual Report

Kelly Lydon — Tue, 19 Sep 2023 09:57:41 +0000

We are proud to once again share with you the comprehensive community development efforts MPDC undertook in 2022 as we further advanced our mission of fostering a vibrant, healthy Roxbury neighborhood that supports the well-being and advancement of all.

In 2022, MPDC continued to see important growth within our wealth and community-building programming while achieving major milestones on multiple housing projects. MPDC’s robust pipeline of upcoming affordable housing opportunities has been deliberately developed to address a wide range of needs, from deeply affordable rental housing to new opportunities for low and moderate-income residents seeking to purchase their first home.

Excitingly, MPDC was part of the winning project team to receive designation of the city-owned Parcel 3. In partnership with HYM and My City at Peace, this project will bring over 300 new units of affordable rental and homeownership housing, thousands of square feet of lab and commercial space, a new home for the King Boston Museum and Policy Center, as well as more than 2,000 new jobs. That this will all be occurring at a site that has been vacant for decades due to the destructive urban renewal policies that catalyzed MPDC’s formation nearly 60 years ago is a beautiful conclusion and a powerful testament to the vision of our founders, the efforts of committed MPDC leaders over the last 57 years and the resilience of our community.

Despite the hardships that our community has faced due to the extraordinarily challenging social and economic conditions we continue to grapple with, MPDC recognizes the once-in-a-generation opportunities ahead of us to make meaningful and lasting change; to reimagine systems and foster communities that can work for everyone. We also know we cannot do this transformative work without our remarkable Roxbury community, particularly our residents.

We are grateful for each individual, organization, and supporter who contributed to another year of impact in 2022!
