The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has awarded a grant to the South Boston Neighborhood Development Corporation (SBNDC). Funds will be used to support the replacement of deteriorating porches on an affordable housing property serving low-income residents at 9–13 Woodward Street in Boston. This renovation will help address urgent safety concerns at the property, where the existing porches have significantly degraded over time and will not pass inspection. With this grant, the Dedham Savings Community Foundation is helping ensure the structures meet current safety codes and continue to provide safe, functional outdoor space for the residents who call this housing property home.
