The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities on Jan. 7 announced that construction upgrades totaling approximately $26.1 million are moving forward at 48 local housing authorities across Massachusetts, supported by investments strengthened through the Affordable Homes Act and other capital resources.
Massachusetts oversees about 43,000 units of state-funded public housing. The construction contracts authorized this fall (September through November) advance improvements that help housing authorities modernize aging systems, address health and safety needs, and prepare units for rapid re-occupancy.
This work includes electrical, drainage, and paving improvements, building and roof repairs, and life safety upgrades. Upgrades ranged from $63,540 to $1.7 million in cost.
