Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción Used $12.8M for Community Center 

Established in 1968 in Boston’s South End, Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción is a community-based nonprofit that addresses the displacement of low-income families due to urban development. MassDevelopment issued a $12.08 million tax-exempt bond for the development and construction of La CASA, an inclusive and welcoming community center. The four-story, 27,000-square-foot building will house an arts education gallery, performance space, and multi-purpose arts space. Once complete, the building will be LEED certified and will feature an exterior that brings together elements of Latino-Caribbean culture with nineteenth century architecture.
