Homeowners Rehab
About
Homeowners Rehab, known as HRI, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1972 by Cambridge residents who saw the need to stabilize their community. It works to improve housing quality for low- and moderate-income residents and to keep that housing affordable in perpetuity. HRI also aims to preserve diversity of race, income, age, disability and household structure, and to develop innovative, replicable forms of affordable housing that widen options for households.
Today HRI stewards nearly 1,700 homes, focused on Cambridge with expansion since 2018 into Worcester, Lowell, Somerville, Newton and Watertown. Its real estate work emphasizes climate-resilient construction and decarbonization through renovation. Resident services support housing stability, economic resiliency, health and youth development. Through its Home Improvement Program, staff help limited-income Cambridge homeowners with technical assistance, loans and access to grants.
