TND, The Neighborhood Developers, have teamed up with North Suff olk Community Services to redevelop the existing group living home into a seven-story building with 56 aff ordable units and open offi ce space for the agency that provides services to the current residents. North Suff olk approached TND about two years ago when they were faced with upgrades for the building. Together, they worked out the design which has all the necessary permits and approvals. Representatives from TND presented slides outlining the costs and funding for the $40 million project. They did add however, that despite weaving together federal and state funding, they are $750 short. They didn’t come to the meeting with an ask, but thought the board might want to consider getting in on a project so in sync with its mission. TND is a nonprofit organization that builds aff ordable housing in Revere, Everett and Chelsea. TND Project Manager Cassie Woodhouse said the organization has been looking at ways to bring aff ordable family housing to the Shirley Ave. neighborhood. Board Chairman Joseph Gravellese expressed support for the project but said the board didn’t have the money to cover the project’s budget gap. The Board is in the process of fi nalizing their strategic plan, and Gravellese suggested they can consider some type of support for the project as they fi nish that process.
