WE’RE PART OF THE SOLUTION

JPNDC is committed to developing housing that is 100% affordable.

Why? Because we know that when people live in homes they can afford, their future is brighter and our community is healthier.

About Affordable Housing at JPNDC

JPNDC has been building affordable homes for 40 years. We focus on new projects that are 100% affordable to households earning below 60% of Area Median Income.

WHY AFFORDABLE HOUSING?

Because unless you make $121,000 a year, it’s difficult to afford an apartment in Boston.

  • Most 2-bedroom apartments in Boston are renting for $2,500 or more—far above the reach of a median-income Boston household

  • 3,000 households applied for JPNDC’s 75 Amory Ave. project—77 applicants per unit

  • Creating new affordable homes is part of the solution, in addition to needed policy changes
