CPA Projects – Detailed Report

Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH), a Boston-based nonprofit, is partnering with Urban Spaces to convert a portion of the Sacred Heart property in East Cambridge into affordable rental housing. The plan calls for CPA funding to support the adaptive reuse of the former convent, school and rectory buildings into 46 affordable rental apartments, with housing options for a range of resident incomes. As part of the renovation, POAH will restore the structures’ historic facades and interiors.
