The Healey-Driscoll administration on April 13 announced more than $8 million in grant awards to nonprofits and municipalities to support the redevelopment and rehabilitation of 49 affordable homes through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, administered by MassHousing.
The program provides nonprofit developers and municipalities with funds to address blight, abandonment and disinvestment in residential neighborhoods.
“This funding will support local revitalization efforts, create affordable homeownership opportunities, and help more families put down roots in Massachusetts,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll in a prepared statement.
Since the launch of the program in 2022, MassHousing has committed more than $21 million to organizations and municipalities across the state for 33 projects involving the development or rehabilitation of 86 affordable homeownership units and 55 affordable rental units.
Grants ranging from $2 million to $105,000 were awarded to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Plymouth, Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, Oxbow Design Build Cooperative, Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity, Rural Development Inc., Community Economic Development Center, South Middlesex Nonprofit Housing Corporation, Way Finders Inc., Worcester Community Housing Resources, and Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester.
