The Solimine House, a community of 150 affordable senior-housing apartments being developed in Lynn, has received funding from the Healey-Driscoll administration to support its development.

Gov. Maura Healey announced that a combination of state funding, state low-income housing tax credits, and Massachusetts rental vouchers has been awarded to 2Life Communities, which is developing the Solimine House.

State Sen. Brendan Crighton described the need for senior housing in the city in a press release from his office. 

“As our residents continue to face a statewide housing crisis, this funding will help address the need for quality, affordable housing for our seniors, while also providing a great benefit to the community at large. Thank you to the Healey-Driscoll administration for making this critical investment and to all of the community partners who have worked collaboratively to make this transformative project a reality,” Crighton said in the release.

Crighton’s legislative director, Sean Reid, said that the amount of funding made available by the state is undetermined at this time.

The release said that Solimine House, which is still in the early stages of development, will offer service-enriched affordable housing and an integration of housing, community, and health-care services at 500 Lynnfield St.

The Solimine House will consist of three interconnected houses, each four to five stories, with a village center containing common spaces for fitness and wellness activities, arts and culture, communal meals, and other community events. A central courtyard will open up to 40,000 square feet of green space and walking paths that will be accessible to the surrounding neighborhood, according to the press release. 

Mayor Jared Nicholson expressed his gratitude for the project and its new sources of funding.

“The state funding to support deeply affordable units for seniors at the future Solimine House development is incredibly exciting. We appreciate all who have been involved in this project and look forward to the creation of the much-needed housing along with the delivery of care that our seniors deserve,” Nicholson said. 

The Solimine House is named in honor of David Solimine Sr. and his wife, Mary Jane, who the press release said have made countless contributions to the City of Lynn as successful business owners and philanthropists.
