East Boston Neighborhood Health Center Corporation will use NMTC allocation to finance land aquisition and the new construction of 15,000 SF of space for a PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) Day Center. The mission of the PACE program is to serve low-income, nursing home-eligible seniors with comprehensive health care and support services in their community, thereby allowing them to live independently outside of nursing homes. EBNHC is one of the leading health care providers in Boston. It provides 300,000+ patient-visits a year to the diverse and low-income populations of East Boston, as well as Boston's inner northern suburbs of Winthrop, Revere, Everett, Chelsea, and Malden. The project will create a number of benefits for EBNHC, its clients, and the larger community.

The new 3-story building will provide a primary care clinic, pharmacy, offices for client consultation, behavioral health, social services, and admin space for the sponsor. The development will allow HOPES to expand the number of providers from 5 to 16 over the next three years and to have a full pharmacy.

High Point Treatment Center launched in 1997 with the commitment to excellence in serving individuals, families, and communities impacted by addiction, mental illness, domestic violence, and/or homelessness by helping them achieve their greatest potential in recovery. This new facility in Marlborough, MA transformed the former St. Lukeâs Hospital into a 72-bed, state of the art psychiatric facility. The facility features a primary care clinic, mental health counseling, youth counseling, and job search assistance. This development works towards filling the gap in psychiatric services in Massachusetts that had been forcing HPTC to turn away patients at its existing facilities due to overcapacity.
Joseph M. Smith Community Health Center opened its doors in 1974 and since then has been dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the communities of Allston, Brighton, Waltham and surrounding areas by providing quality, comprehensive, coordinated care. Despite its four Allston-Brighton locations JMSCHC was operating at capacity and unable to meet the growing new patient and community need for care. In response, JMSCHC opened a new, 48,000 SF building that was able to centralize services and staff, provides savings of over $300,000 in annual rent, offers 3x more space for care and community classes and events.
