Homeowner’s Rehab/CNAHS
About
Homeowner’s Rehab Inc. (HRI) is a Cambridge community development corporation that develops and preserves affordable, high-quality rental housing. With nearly 1,700 homes in its portfolio, it creates climate-resilient buildings and supportive programs so that low- and moderate-income residents can thrive. Cambridge remains its main focus, but since 2018 it has expanded to Worcester, Lowell, Somerville, Newton and Watertown, preserving about 200 existing affordable units there.
Founded in 1972, HRI builds new sustainable housing and renovates older properties to cut carbon and fossil fuel use. Its resident services focus on housing stability, economic resilience, health and youth development. Its Home Improvement Program offers technical help and loans to limited-income Cambridge homeowners, helping them stay in their homes. One client used the program to add a walk-in shower and move her laundry to the first floor so she could age in place.
