Receivership Remodel
WCHR has a contract with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office to administer the REACH (Receivership Expense Assistance for Creating Housing) Fund throughout the state.
We work with private contractors, property owners, and the courts to transform distressed and abandoned properties into safe and attractive homes to increase the affordable housing supply, protect public health, and return tax revenue to the city. and provide revolving lending capital to approved receivers, along with technical support.
As of fall 2025, WCHR is completing the rehabilitation of two receivership properties: 12 Congress Street, which needed significant interior and mechanical renovations, and 28 Albert Street, where widespread damage required major infrastructure improvements as well as new sheetrock and insulation.
