---

BOSTON – Representative Liz Malia (D-11th Suffolk) is proud to recognize Urban Edge Housing Corporation for their recent receipt of state and federally funded housing tax credits that will enable them to build 49 new units of affordable family housing in the Egleston Square neighborhood of Boston.

The Walker Park Apartments is a new construction project sponsored by Urban Edge that the Massachusetts Department of Housing & Community Development will support with federal and state funds. The City of Boston also is providing funds to the project.

Of the 49 units, 8 will be reserved for households earning less than 30% of area median income.
