Our Vision for the Site
The public health crises of mental illness, addiction and homelessness are taking a painful toll on our families and communities. Our unique, highly experienced coalition of providers, who all care deeply about our communities, have envisioned a new model to tackle this crisis through a fully integrated continuum of care. We are eager to collaborate with the community, City and Commonwealth to advance a transformative vision for a behavioral health community that we believe will become a model for the nation.
- Up to 200 new units of supportive housing for individuals, developed by The Community Builders and operated by Pine Street Inn.
- Up to 205 new units of supportive housing for families, developed and managed by Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corporation. Supportive housing provides residents with case management, job training, life skills, counseling, transportation, and other support services. Residents will be tenants who sign a lease and pay rent.
- Inpatient and outpatient clinical services, including primary care, mental health, and substance use disorder treatment in a new clinical building that complement the surrounding park and its healing, natural environment.
- Emergency housing services, similar to those already provided on the site.
- Additional, accessible green space adjacent to the campus, for a total of more than seven dedicated acres of green space, and new pedestrian, bicycle and public transit connections.
