Community Content
The Brookline Housing Authority was one of six housing authorities in the state to be awarded a Self Sufficiency Program grant from the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development.
Funds will enable 35 or more adult residents of the BHA’s state public housing developments to receive economic mobility services. As their incomes increase, participants may accrue up to $15,000 in escrow saving over the three to five year program.
“This is a tremendous opportunity to support residents who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic,” said Danielle Mendola, Resident Services program director. “It also represents a step toward building generational wealth that can transform the trajectory of entire families.”
