Project Description
The proposed Our Lady’s Guild House (“OLGH”) project by Fenway CDC and the Planning Office for Urban Affairs includes the complete renovation and modernization of a 140-room lodging house into an 86-unit rental building in the Kenmore Square neighborhood. This Project is the culmination of years of advocacy on behalf of residents to purchase the building and return it to its original mission of providing affordable housing. The 6-story elevator building will include 22 enhanced permanent supportive housing Single Room Occupancy (“SRO”) apartments, 45 studio apartments, 19 one-bedroom apartments, a community room with kitchen and storage, an office, lounge, laundry facilities, other ancillary spaces, and bicycle parking. The Project and neighborhood are extraordinarily well situated because of the Project’s proximity to transportation, medical facilities, shopping, places of worship, recreational facilities, places of employment, and other necessary services for the prospective residents.
