 St. Jean Baptiste
The St. Jean Baptiste development, located on
the grounds of the former St. Jean Baptiste Church on the corner of Franklin
and Lyman streets, includes 24 rental units.
The St. Jean’s project, a collaboration between the LHAND and
the Archdiocese of Boston’s Planning Office for Urban Affairs, inspired
neighbors to revitalize the entire community. The LHAND granted almost 60 loans
to residents in the neighborhood for improvements, and nearby property owners
have worked to enhance their homes and landscaping.
Units at St. Jean Baptiste Apartments are affordable units based
on Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Service Code and HUD’s HOME Investment
Partnership Program. Applicants who receive federal subsidized assistance will
be accepted. However, applicants do not need to be currently receiving federal
subsidized assistance to apply.
Eleven of the families selected must have income of 50 percent
or less of the Area Median Income (AMI) as defined by the HUD Income
Guidelines. The remaining families selected must have incomes of 60 percent or
less of AMI.
*These buildings are not public housing units and rents are set
by IRS regulations. Applications can be obtained at the Lynn Housing Authority & Neighborhood
Development office located at 10 Church Street.
