Already great is getting even better.

Boston Housing Authority (BHA) selected 2Life to redevelop its John J. Carroll Apartments in June 2019. 2Life and BHA worked closely with the then-residents of John J. Carroll to develop a plan for this new community that is now underway; to replace older, outdated buildings with a modern, more comfortable, energy efficient and accessible building. J.J. Carroll House will include 124 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom apartments and an 11,000 sq. ft. PACE center operated by Element Care. A bridge will create a year-round accessible connection with direct access to all the Brighton campus amenities, programs and services making the Brighton campus even better.
