78-80 Porter Road

78-80 Porter Road

In 2009, the Cambridge Housing Authority (CHA) through its Cambridge Affordable Housing Corporation (CAHC) purchased a 26-unit rental property in Porter Square, also known as 78-80 Porter Road, with the financial assistance from the Cambridge Affordable Housing Trust. Additional financing was used to significantly renovate the property and convert the mostly market-rate housing units into affordable housing rented out to income-eligible residents. In the process of updating and replacing old systems, the CHA was able to maintain and restore historically significant elements of the building. Construction on the property started in January 2020 and completed in September 2021, and included construction of two fully accessible housing units.

For more information on the project, please visit the CHA's website at https://cambridge-housing.org/locations/porter-rd/. 

This project is complete. No further updates will be made to this project page.
