United Neighbors of Lower Roxbury (UNLR) was founded in the early 1970s in response to urban renewal and the planned extension of I-95 through Roxbury. They requested TACC’s assistance with regaining their nonprofit status as a neighborhood-based membership organization and for schematics for the development of their 4,020 sq. ft. parcel at 90 Windsor Street in Lower Roxbury.
Through pro bono legal assistance from the Lawyers Clearinghouse, UNLR regained their nonprofit status while TACC assisted with capacity building to solidify the board’s roles and responsibilities. TACC provided the funding for services from MASS Design Group for architectural pre-design renderings for a proposed mixed-use housing development at 90 Windsor Street.
