About us
Founded in 1972, HRI develops and preserves affordable, high-quality rental housing. Our community engagement programs focus on housing stability, economic resiliency, health, and youth development, all pathways to opportunity for our residents. HRI’s Home Improvement Program supports homeowners of limited income to remain in their homes and build generational wealth. While Cambridge remains our primary focus, we have expanded since 2018 to Worcester, Lowell, Somerville, Newton, and Watertown, where we have preserved about 200 units of existing affordable housing.
