The former St. Kevin’s Parish campus in Dorchester’s Upham’s Corner will be redeveloped into housing units.
The redevelopment of St. Kevin’s is a coordinated effort led by the Planning Office for Urban Affairs, St. Mary’s Center for Women and Children and Holy Family Parish, all operating on behalf of the Archdiocese of Boston.
The former St. Kevin’s site will be redeveloped into 80 units of affordable housing, 25 percent of which will be for formerly homeless families. The development will include three multi-story buildings, two newly constructed (35 Bird St. and 530 Columbia Road) and the adaptive reuse of one of the existing buildings (516 Columbia Road).
The development received funding from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the city of Boston, Bank of America, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
