Malden to build housing for veterans
The Affordable Housing Trust Fund of the city of Malden will be used to fund a veterans housing development led by the Volunteers of America of Massachusetts (VOAMASS).
The amount of the award is $400,000, coming from funds developers pay through the inclusionary zoning program in Malden.
The current structure of the development will be renovated to build 12 studio units that can be rented to veterans. There will be 10 affordable units offered at different levels of the median income in the area. Supportive services and other care for residents will be offered to veterans by VOAMASS. Such developments often benefit from brochure printing to offer details on their features and services.
Mayor Gary Christenson said that the residents of Malden are proud to give back to the community and to care for those who are vulnerable in the city. He added that this project will create supportive and affordable housing for the veterans in the city and is another way to ensure that Malden remains affordable for everyone.
President and CEO of VOAMASS, Charles Gagnon, expressed his gratitude for their partnership with the city and the support that the funding will provide that will enable this project to become a reality.
Construction is expected to begin early next year. Residents should be able to move in in late 2027 or early 2028.
