Healey-Driscoll Administration and Legislature fund roof upgrades at Saugus Housing Authority

The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities has announced that construction upgrades are underway at public housing authorities across the state, thanks to meaningful investments that were finalized by the Healey-Driscoll Administration this summer. The funds, which were authorized through the Affordable Homes Act passed by the Legislature and signed by Governor Maura Healey, support upgrades to state-funded public housing across Massachusetts. The Saugus Housing Authority has received $555,492.17 for roof replacement.

“Investing in our public housing authorities is important to make sure their buildings are safe, comfortable, and meet the energy efficiency needs of current times,” said Senator Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn). “We’re proud to allocate funding to support these projects and appreciate the partnership of the Healey-Driscoll Administration to advocate for our public housing authorities.”

“The funding provided to the Saugus Housing Authority is vital to ensuring the longevity and quality of public housing in our district,” said Representative Jessica Ann Giannino (D-Revere). “The Healey-Driscoll Administration has been a strong partner to the 16th Suffolk, listening to our needs and delivering critical investments that help maintain and upgrade our public assets.”

“This funding is essential to upgrading and ensuring the safety of our state-funded public housing buildings,” said Representative Donald Wong. “We must maintain these buildings to protect the well-being of the residents who rely on them.”
