Sixty-one new affordable apartments for senior citizens — including seven for formerly homeless seniors and five for older adults with lifelong disabilities — will be built in Brighton under plans by Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly.
The Brighton nonprofit's estimated $20 million to $22 million project at 132 Chestnut Hill Ave. would be adjacent to its existing 700-apartment campus.
The non-sectarian housing units, 56 of which would be one-bedrooms, would help chip away at JCHE's three- to five-year waiting list and Mayor Martin J. Walsh's goal to create 53,000 new housing units by 2030.
"There's just an enormous need, and the need is growing for affordable housing," JCHE CEO Amy Schectman said. "We were a logical organization to develop it because we can … make very efficient use of a small site."
JCHE's existing Brighton campus is at the back of the Chestnut Hill Avenue parcel. Residents of the new apartments would have access, via an enclosed passageway, to the campus' fitness and computer centers, library, auditorium, art room, meeting rooms and lounge areas.
JCHE was the lone respondent to a 2013 request for proposals by the BRA, which acquired the 0.3-acre site in 2004.
"We feel like this is a strong proposal that would serve an important need for the community in that it would provide a significant amount of affordable housing for seniors," BRA spokesman Nick Martin said.
The JCHE has been building affordable housing since 1965 and has close to 1,500 independent seniors at its eight buildings in Brighton, Newton and Framingham. It hopes to start the new Brighton project next spring and complete it in 2017.
