No final decision was made to transfer the property or expand the apartments. The proposed process would seek renovation funding and include protections for current and future affordable housing residents. The property received a $100,000 grant for accessibility upgrades, while brick repointing is estimated to cost about $2 million; the Affordable Housing Trust requested $500,000 toward that work. The Board also voted 5-0 to renew the Corcoran management contract with a 2.7% Consumer Price Index adjustment.
