This week in the news: Somerville, MA secured $2.3million from the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development and will receive federal tax credits to the tune of $619,000 in order to build 31 new affordable housing units at a cost of $97,000 per unit, allowing the city to complete Phase III of Saint Polycarp Village. Somerville also will receive an additional $1million in Federal subsidies to create 8 affordable housing units on Cross Street at a cost of $125,000 per unit.
