In 2009 we completed a 5-year Affordable Housing Development program. This program offered to assist parishes interested in creating affordable housing with feasibility study grants and technical assistance. Several of these projects continue to move forward and flourish, we are partnering with these parishes to support their ongoing work.
Grantees:
Christ Church, Quincy
Christ Church parishioners and ECM came together to transform the 100-year-old former rectory, Porteus House, into nine units of affordable housing.
The Church of the Holy Spirit, Mattapan
CHS has engaged Mitchell Properties to be its partner in the development of new affordable housing, commercial space and new space for church use. ECM awarded an additional grant to assist CHS.
Coming Home, Inc. – St. James, Groveland
With leadership from St. James Church, a loan from Episcopal City Mission and financial support from Trinity Episcopal Church in Haverhill, a partnership – Coming Home, Inc. – was born. Today, CHI is renovating a store/rectory in South Groveland that will provide 12-15 units of affordable housing and daycare/multi-use center.
