The ribbon-cutting ceremony features a coalition of public and religious leaders, including Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, Mayor Michelle Wu, and Archbishop Richard G. Henning. The development represents a strategic response to the city’s ongoing housing crisis, integrating 126 rental units designed to serve households at various income levels. By blending permanent supportive housing with market-rate options, the project aims to create a stable environment for those previously experiencing homelessness.

Boston Opens 19-Story Tower to Address Chronic Housing Shortage
A 19-story residential tower at 41 LaGrange Street arrives in downtown Boston on September 8, marking a significant addition to the city's affordable housing stock. The mixed-income project, developed by St. Francis House and the Planning Office for Urban Affairs, provides permanent supportive housing for residents exiting homelessness.
St. Francis House, which supports over 7,000 individuals annually, spearheaded the initiative alongside the Planning Office for Urban Affairs. The Archdiocese-linked developer has built over 3,200 units across the region, focusing on social justice through property development. Project partners, including Bank of America and local state representatives, will join the leadership team to tour the facility and discuss the impact of the new downtown landmark.
