Money approved for housing project
WEBSTER — A Boston-based nonprofit has approved $400,000 in funding to renovate the former Sitkowski School into an affordable housing project.
The Community Economic Development Assistance Corp. has approved $400,000 in funding for the Neighborhood of Affordable Housing Inc. project to convert the former high school into a 66-unit development and community center for seniors, according to a press release from CEDAC.
“The development, known as the Sitkowski School Apartments project, will add to the continued revitalization efforts in Webster, while also providing affordable housing options for elderly residents,” the press release said. “Funding for this project was increased from $100,000 to $300,000 to assist NOAH in moving the project forward, now that it has received its state funding awards in February.”
CEDAC also approved renovations of a former school in Dorchester and a 4-acre site in Easthampton into affordable housing complexes.
