    The redevelopment of the Mary Ellen McCormack public housing community in South Boston will ultimately provide 1,016 new homes for current residents while adding additional residential units to create a true mixed-income, mixed-use community. 

    The project will include a 100% affordable senior building. When complete, the development will also feature middle-income (workforce) and market-rate housing, small business retail, a central public square, a community building, and resident programs including job training, educational services, and senior activities.

    The goal is to make Mary Ellen McCormack a 21st century neighborhood where residents are the highest priority — not just through modern homes and open spaces, but through programs designed to create a better quality of life and the chance to pursue brighter futures for themselves and their families. Join us to learn more about this transformative project!
