MassHousing has committed $7.9 million in affordable housing financing to non-profit The Neighborhood Developers (TND) for the construction of 571 Revere Street in Revere. The MassHousing financing will allow TND to construct 51 units of new affordable housing for households across a range of incomes, including 19 new workforce housing units.

MassHousing is providing TND with a $6 million permanent loan and $1.9 million in workforce housing financing from the Agency’s Workforce Housing Initiative.
