This is reproduced with permission of Affordable Housing News. Beacon Communities LLC, in partnership with Mount Vernon Company and nonprofit service provider Pine Street Inn, recently opened a landmark affordable housing community in one of Boston’s most expensive neighborhoods.

The 140 Clarendon project transformed a historic 13-story building into modern homes for both low-income and formerly homeless households in the Back Bay. The community is near public transit, community-serving retail and neighborhood amenities, giving underserved individuals access to opportunity in addition to safe, stable and service-supported housing.
