“All of our residents deserve to live in a clean, welcoming environment,” said Mayor Walsh. “I am proud to announce these improvements which will improve the quality of life for so many of our elderly and disabled residents.”
 
The upgrades to the developments will include newly painted common areas and hallways, new common area flooring, new ceilings and updated furniture for community rooms and spaces. Residents will have the opportunity to provide input in choosing the color scheme for their development.

“Our elderly and disabled residents, sometimes by necessity, spend a considerable portion in the community spaces of their buildings,” said BHA Administrator Bill McGonagle.“We’re pleased to be able to provide an updated and more enjoyable environment for our elderly and disabled residents.”
 
Work has begun at the Peabody/Englewood and Foley sites and a schedule will be developed for the remaining sites in the coming months.
