NOAH celebrates the preservation of 111 affordable homes in Eastie
The Neighborhood of Affordable Housing (NOAH) gathered with partners, residents and advocates to acknowledge and celebrate everyone who helped NOAH preserve 111 units in 29 buildings in East Boston. NOAH has long been committed to acquiring small multifamily buildings in East Boston. For decades, East Boston’s triple-deckers and small multifamily buildings have provided homes for the working families and immigrants who have helped shape the neighborhood’s identity. As housing costs have risen, preserving these buildings has become increasingly important to protecting longtime residents from displacement. NOAH has been at the forefront of this work, acquiring properties and maintaining them as affordable housing rather than allowing them to be sold on the private market. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, with the help of the Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP) and the City of Boston, NOAH acquired over 80 three-deckers. NOAH sold 42 of these to first time homebuyers and has since created an additional 37 first time homeownership units.
