Boston Mayor Michelle Wu launched phase three of Welcome Home, Boston, a strategy to promote homeownership in the city and support Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC)-owned development companies.

The first two phases saw 28 parcels developed into 144 homes. Many of the homes are currently under construction or currently in closing with construction scheduled for summer and fall of 2025.

Phase three will create 30 homes on 12 City-owned parcels for first-time middle-income homebuyers in Hyde Park, Roslindale, Dorchester and Roxbury.

“Homeownership is one of the most powerful tools we have to build generational wealth and keep neighborhoods strong,” said Wu in a press release. “I’m proud to celebrate these new homeowners alongside the local developers who have partnered with the city and the Boston Home Center to help more families afford to make Boston home.”
