LYNN, MASS. — MassDevelopment has provided $7.5 million in tax-exempt bond financing for an affordable housing development located in the northeastern Boston suburb of Lynn. The project will convert the upper portion of a commercial building into a 24-unit community. Units will be reserved for formerly homeless adults between the ages of 18 and 24 who earn 30 percent or less of the area median income. Eastern Bank purchased the bond. The developer, nonprofit organization Harborlight Homes, will also utilize $6.4 million in federal low-income housing tax credits to finance construction of the project.
