Brighton Marine Health Center Inc. is set to start the permitting process for a 101-unit multifamily development offering affordable rentals to veterans and their families.
The nonprofit plans to partner with Boston's WinnDevelopment on the six-story project, which would be built along Commonwealth Avenue on about 1.5 acres of its 9-acre campus. Eighty percent of the units would be affordable, and 70 percent of those would be reserved for vets and their families.
The 32-year-old health center provides primary care, diagnostic and behavioral health services to uniformed services personnel, retirees and their dependents through the Department of Defense-sponsored US Family Health Plan.
Returning veterans face many challenges as they become acclimated to being home and seek to re-enter the workforce, according to Brighton Marine CEO Michael Dwyer. "One such challenge Brighton Marine has recognized is a growing need ... for moderate-income housing," Dwyer said in a statement. "As a result, Brighton Marine decided to leverage its available real estate assets and build moderate-income housing plus a workforce training facility on its site."
Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh wants to ensure any hurdles are cleared so the project can be built as quickly as possible, according to Francisco Urena, the city's commissioner of veterans services.
"This ... is not only addressing ... (veteran) homelessness, but also it gives the opportunity for returning veterans ... to meet the residency requirement to be employed with the city," Urena said.
