In Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood, the Pine Street Inn and The Community Builders are currently constructing a supportive housing project that will provide 140 supportive housing units.
When construction is done next year, Jamaica Plain will be home to the largest housing project for formerly unhoused people in the City of Boston, according to the executive director of the Pine Street Inn.
Massachusetts was among states with the largest absolute decreases in people experiencing homelessness between 2020 and 2022 according to the HUD report. Downie said targeted services, such as rental assistance, helped reduce homelessness among particular groups, such as veterans. “Oftentimes, you won't find homeless children and parents on the street. They're living doubled or tripled up in one- or two-bedroom apartments trying to make do and get by with the limited incomes and resources that they have,” said Larry Seamans, President of Family Aid, an organization that offers resources and emergency shelter to families experiencing housing insecurity. He said he’s glad to see prevention is a key pillar of the federal plan to reduce homelessness.
