Keeping South Boston affordable for all.
Since 1983, South Boston Neighborhood Development Corporation has been dedicated to developing housing that is affordable to seniors, veterans, families, working people, first-time homebuyers, and renters who make South Boston a community and deserve to be able to live here.
Homes for South Boston
South Boston is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Greater Boston and housing prices continue to rise in response to increased demand. Much of the neighborhood is unaffordable for seniors who raised families here, young professionals who grew up here, and working families whose incomes have not kept pace with housing costs. We build and preserve housing that is affordable for those who made Southie the community that it is.
Support for Local Businesses
Promoting and assisting local small businesses is at the core of our economic development. The neighborhood’s premier culinary event, the Taste of South Boston, celebrates and promotes longtime South Boston institutions and newcomers alike. Through our deep partnership with the South Boston Chamber of Commerce, we organize business promotion and networking events, including the annual South Boston Street Festival, a neighborhood tradition for more than 20 years. Our portfolio also includes three below-market rental storefronts, currently home to a bakery, a plant shop, and a cafe.
Resources for Residents
From ensuring access to fresh, nutritious food at the South Boston Farmers Market, to creating and preserving open spaces with the Southie Trees and Community Gardens program, we strives to make our neighborhood a better and healthier place to live. Our newest initiative is a collaboration with other neighborhood nonprofits to identify climate change preparation and mitigation goals and leverage our network of resources to achieve them.
