Bedford Veterans SROUsing
a $750,000 construction loan from Massachusetts Housing Investment
Corporation (MHIC), Caritas Communities, the largest owner of single
room occupancy lodging houses in Boston,
rehabilitated
two floors in a building at the Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans
Hospital to create 60 Single Room Occupancy (SRO) units affordable to
the very low-income population. The units provide permanent housing and
support services to homeless and disabled veterans. The project was
made possible by a ground lease with the Department of Veterans Affairs
to ensure long-term affordability for eligible veterans.
