BOSTON — The Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corp. (JPDNC) will undertake a 48-unit affordable housing redevelopment project in Boston. The nonprofit owner-operator will convert a dilapidated, obsolete building in the Dorchester area into housing for seniors aged 55 and above. The property will be known as The Cheney Homes and will primarily house one-bedroom units that will be reserved for renters earning between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income. ICON Architecture is designing the redevelopment, and NEI General Contracting is handling construction. MassHousing is financing the project in conjunction with other public-sector entities.
