A Revere housing complex for low-income seniors has received a $4 million federal grant for upgrades that will cut utility costs and water usage.

The Jack Satter House, which is owned and operated by Hebrew SeniorLife, received the grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as part of the department’s Green Retrofit Program for Multifamily Housing.

The money will help the developer reduce utility costs by approximately 25 percent. It will also help improve indoor air quality.

Hebrew SeniorLife, a nonprofit affiliated with Harvard Medical School, will begin the one-year improvement project this month and estimates the creation of 60 construction-related jobs.

"Not only will this grant result in significant energy efficiency improvements and cost savings at Jack Satter House, it will serve as a model for how other organizations can incorporate sustainable, green building elements to create environmentally friendly communities," said Len Fishman, CEO of Hebrew SeniorLife.
