115 Rindge Ave

Heading Home, Inc., a provider of shelter and permanent housing for men, women and families, purchased an existing single-family home located at 115-117 Rindge Avenue. This large home was converted into 14 units of supportive single-room occupancy (SRO) housing for disabled formerly homeless women. The property has 24-hour on-site supportive management and service providers. 

The City of Cambridge Human Services Department identified a need for housing for women who were moving through the continuum of shelter options and were ready to move from transitional to permanent housing. The shortage of permanent supportive housing meant that these women were unable to progress to more stable housing and open up space for others waiting for shelter. Heading Home, Inc. stepped in to find a suitable property to help alleviate this shortage. 

Construction was completed in April 2015. No further updates will be made to this project page.

The renovated property includes: 

  • 14 single-room occupancy rental units with shared bathrooms and kitchens, all of which are affordable in perpetuity
  • On-site supportive services

  • 115 Rindge Ave
