MILDRED C. HAILEY APARTMENTS

Phase I: New construction of 673 homes.

Mildred Hailey Redevelopment Plan

Replacing seven deteriorated buildings and strengthening a proud, resilient community.

The Back Story

Bromley-Heath (now Mildred C. Hailey Apartments) has provided critical safety-net housing to thousands of Jamaica Plain families. It was the first public housing development in the US to be managed by a tenant organization. Federal investment has declined since the 1980s, leading the Boston Housing Authority to pursue private partnerships for needed renovations.

JPNDC and Centre Street Partners

Centre Street Partners was formed in 2017 by JPNDC, The Community Builders, and Urban Edge to redevelop the Mildred C. Hailey Apartments. Our designation was approved in August 2017. This partnership is led by mission-driven organizations with deep community roots.

Proposal

  • Phase I calls for the replacement of seven residential buildings and the Anna Mae Cole Community Center with 673 new homes.
  • Of the 673 units, 253 will replace existing units for MCHA families and 420 will be new affordable and middle-income units.
  • A new 6,800 sq. ft. centrally located community center.
  • 8,300 square feet of additional community and retail space.
