Forbes Bldg

The Forbes Building in Jamaica Plain, MA is a prominent residential complex located at 545 Centre Street. The building is currently facing a housing crisis, with the affordable housing contract set to expire on March 1, leaving tenants uncertain about their future. The building has been a focal point for discussions and advocacy around affordable housing, with community organizations and government agencies working together to find a solution.

The Forbes Building Tenants Association, in collaboration with the Mass Alliance of HUD Tenants and other local community organizations, recently held an Emergency Summit on Zoom to address the concerns of residents and seek support for signing new contracts to secure their homes. The building owner, Paul Clayton, has been urged to demonstrate his commitment to affordable housing and not raising rents. The housing crisis at the Forbes Building is just one example of the ongoing challenges faced by residents and officials in addressing homelessness and securing affordable housing in Boston's expensive housing market.
