~ Boston Celebrates Opening of New Housing Community for Older Adults in Dorchester
The City of Boston marked a significant milestone on September 25 with the grand opening of Leyland Community, a new housing community for older adults in the Dorchester neighborhood. The project, a joint effort between Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation and Hebrew SeniorLife, was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by city officials and community members.
Boston's Chief of Housing Sheila Dillon delivered remarks at the event, emphasizing the city's commitment to expanding affordable housing options and providing support for its aging population. The Leyland Community, designed specifically for residents aged 62 and above, is the first senior housing building in Uphams Corner area of Dorchester. With 43 units that are income-restricted, the building is now home to 50 older adults.

Commissioner Emily K. Shea from Age Strong also expressed her excitement about the new community, stating that all older residents in Boston deserve an accessible and affordable place to live with dignity. She highlighted the welcoming communal spaces and rooftop deck as opportunities for socialization and activity within the building.
The Mayor's Office of Housing has been actively addressing the housing needs of older Bostonians, with recent projects including 42 new homes at Grace Apartments in East Boston and 74 new homes at The Pryde in Hyde Park. Ground has also been broken at several other sites designated for senior housing, promising even more options for older adults in the near future.
