Mary Ellen McCormack Public Housing Redevelopment Project

Located in South Boston, Mary Ellen McCormack (MEM) is an 80-year-old deteriorated public housing development that is home to more than 1,000 racially and ethnically diverse low-income families. Starting in 2022, MEM will undergo a $1.6 billion redevelopment to be converted into a mixed-income, mixed-use community where deeply affordable units for current MEM residents will be mixed with market-rate units. BCSSW is a core member of a multi-sector partnership to create an evidence-based integrated social service model for the redeveloped community.
