Retirement Housing Foundation and Schochet Associates, Inc. today announced that they have completed the $39 million acquisition of 373 apartments located in Hartford, CT. The project, originally constructed in the early 1900s as the House of the Good Shepherd, was painstakingly rehabilitated and converted to affordable apartments for seniors in 1980.

MassHousing's Board of Directors voted today to approve a $14.4 million loan commitment to preserve affordability at Mason Place, a 127-unit development for low-income seniors in Boston. The building, which at one time was the home of the Boston Herald and Traveler Newspaper, sits adjacent to Millennium Place in the city's fashionable Ladder District.
