Work has already begun on the demolition and abatement of properties in the North End after an extended wait in which Nehemiah Housing Corporation and the Broad Park Development Group sought funding for the creation of 15 new housing units in the Ferry and Green Street neighborhoods.

Nehemiah closed on $3.5 million in grants from DECD that is part of the federal stimulus package to create affordable housing.
