Grant to Fund Innovative Solar/Thermal Hot Water System for Affordable Housing Development
Urban Edge received a $50,000 grant from The Home Depot Foundation to help support the “green” renovation of Jamaica Plain Apartments, a 103-unit affordable multi-family housing development in Jamaica Plain and Dorchester. The money received will be used to purchase and install a state-of the-art solar-thermal hot water system at 78-84 Stoughton/96 Sumner Street in the Uphams Corner section of Dorchester. The new system will supply up to 80% of the residents’ hot water needs, will reduce dependence on fossil fuels and the property’s operating expenses, and will lessen the impact of the building on the environment.

There are the mahogany-louvered fences, the solar panels, and the flying-V roof line on the main building, which besides looking cool, channels rainwater into a landscaped rock garden. Such modern flourishes are rare in a city that cleaves to architectural convention, but they are especially striking considering that Hyde-Blakemore was built for lower-income families.
