Affordable Housing Development
Nuestra’s Comunidad’s work to revitalize communities and assure that all families have affordable homes centers around the transformation of vacant and abandoned lots and buildings into quality affordable housing and commercial space that enable families and businesses to thrive. Since 1981, Nuestra Comunidad has been a leading developer of affordable homes in Roxbury and surrounding neighborhoods, having created or preserved over 800 affordable apartments and nearly 200 units of for-sale homes.
Nuestra Comunidad draws on a variety of community planning tools and best practices to gain input from stakeholders in the community, including neighbors and stakeholders representing a wide range of partners, drawing on variety of community planning tools and best practices. We use the input to inform the economic, community health, and other goals of each development. Nuestra Comunidad collaborates with a wide range of designers, contractors, government agencies, neighborhood organizations,
Community Support
Nuestra's Community Support department serves our residents via three initiatives: 1) Resident Services. Nuestra has contracted with Winn Management to provide high-quality support to all of our residents via Winn's Connected Communities initiative. This includes health & wellness, leadership development and events & celebrations. 2) Formerly Homeless Services. Nuestra now runs A Lift Up, a program originating at City Mission, which provides intensive case management to formerly homeless women and their children who reside in Nuestra properties. 3) Community Safety. Nuestra has retained security staff to ensure the safety of our residents of the Dartmouth Hotel in Nubian Square.
Green Initiatives
Environmental sustainability is a central element of our work at Nuestra Comunidad. We emphasize sustainability in our real estate, community engagement, and resident services programs to not only reduce our environmental impact, but also to improve health, safety, financial stability, and quality of life for residents of our buildings and the broader community. Green Initiatives includes championing mixed-use, transit-oriented development, building and maintaining green and healthy homes, harnessing clean energy sources, promoting home energy efficiency and creating green community space.
Homes for Equity
In partnership with Opportunity Communities and the Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance, Homes for Equity seeks to demonstrate how municipalities and affordable housing developers like Nuestra Comunidad can build intergenerational wealth for People of Color who have experienced housing discrimination.
