On Friday, Secretary Augustus joined Lt. Governor Driscoll, Mayor Michelle Wu and many others in celebrating Boston’s FIRST LGBTQ-affirming affordable housing community for seniors. Congratulations to Pennrose, LGBTQ Senior Housing Inc, and all of the partners who made this project possible. The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities is proud to have awarded nearly $4 million in federal and state Low-Income Housing Tax Credits which will generate more than $20 million in equity for this project. Additionally, #EOHLC has awarded a little over $4.5 million in state subsidies to help make The Pryde a reality. #BostonPryde #BostonPride

The Pennrose team was thrilled to celebrate #PrideMonth by joining LGBTQ Senior Housing Inc, Mayor Michelle Wu, Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, Secretary of Housing and Livable Communities Ed Augustus, local officials, and project partners for the grand opening of Boston's first LGBTQ-affirming senior affordable housing community! Located in the Hyde Park neighborhood, The Pryde successfully transformed a historic former school into a vibrant affordable housing community with on-site amenities and a 10,000 S.F. community center for programming, continued learning, social events, and much more. Too many #LGBTQ seniors face discrimination, isolation, and financial insecurity. We are proud to provide inclusive housing in Boston, and hope The Pryde serves as an example nationwide.

#TBT to the groundbreaking of LGBTQ Senior Housing Inc's The Pryde, which opens its doors tomorrow. In February, OGR awarded the LGBTQ Senior Housing $71,656 through the Commonwealth Nonprofit Security Grant Program to address security needs and prevent hate crimes. The development provides LGBTQIA friendly housing and community space, which it says will “offer diverse social, educational and cultural services and programming for residents, the larger LGBTQ community, and seniors and residents in Hyde Park.” #grantsinaction #pride

Preview of The Pryde Building which will be opening soon!!! Renovating a historical public-school building in Boston can be tough, but with the help of Dimella Shaffer and SK & Associates, the job can come out like this! The task was to redo an old BPS building into safe and affordable housing for low-income seniors inclusive of the LGBTQ community. It was designed to help create a supportive space to serve seniors in the Greater Boston community.
