Habitat for Humanity will redevelop property on Walter Street in Roslindale into affordable housing. 

At its August meeting, the Boston Planning & Development Agency board officially awarded Habitat for Humanity of Greater Boston final designation to redevelop BPDA-owned property located at 104 Walter St. 

The BPDA acquired the previously privately owned 104-108 Walter St. in 2020 to create affordable housing and expand the Roslindale Wetlands Urban Wild. In 2021, the board voted to temporarily designate Habitat of Humanity as the developer of an affordable housing project at 104 Walter St. 

Once complete, the project will include four income-restricted, homeownership units for families with incomes between 50% to 80% of the area median income. Under the plan, the existing home on site will be preserved and fully renovated into two units. The other two will be located in a newly built duplex on the property.
