But like most great institutions of higher learning, Northeastern had modest origins. At the end of the nineteenth century, immigrants and first-generation Americans constituted more than half of Boston’s population. Chief among the city’s institutions committed to helping these people improve their lives was the Boston YMCA. The YMCA became a place where young men gathered to hear lectures on literature, history, music, and other subjects considered essential to intellectual growth. In response to the enthusiastic demand for these lectures, the directors of the YMCA organized the “Evening Institute for Young Men” in May 1896. Frank Palmer Speare, a well- known teacher and high-school principal with considerable experience in the public schools, was hired as the institute’s director.

  • The History of Louder's Lane

    The History of Louder's Lane

    CHAPTER FOUR THE HISTORY OF LOUDER’S LANE Today it is called Louder’s Lane, but research has revealed that the current spelling is not correct. The lane was named for a local farming family with the surname Lowder (pronounced like the English word louder) who lived in the area from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Their ranks included Corporal John Lowder, a Roxbury minuteman who fought in the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, Jamaica Plain was an outlying, rural part of the town of Roxbury, removed from the bustling center of the town and even more distant from the city of Boston.1 The main activity of Jamaica Plain during this time was agriculture, and its farms, orchards, and pastures supplied the needs of the urban core of Roxbury and of Boston. The central transportation artery was an unpaved road called the Upper Road to Dedham (Centre Street). It was lined with farms and widely-spaced farmhouses standing close to the road. It served as a part of the Boston Post Road for stagecoaches carrying passengers and mail between Boston and New York.2 Coming off it in a roughly westerly direction was a short “private town way,” for many years the only street off Centre Street in that direction between Pond Street and Weld Street. ORIGIN OF THE LANE’S NAME The lane was first mentioned by name in an 1827 deed in which Lucretia Lewis as administratrix of the estate of the late Jabez Lewis, victualler, sold to John Lowder, victualler, for $275 (“he being the highest bidder”) a three acre “parcel of land called the upper swale..

The Housing Credit is our nation’s primary tool for encouraging private investment in affordable rental housing. While rental assistance is critical for keeping renters in their homes during this time of financial instability, the need for more affordable housing production and preservation in cities and towns preceded the pandemic. Since its creation in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the Housing Credit has been the primary financing source for the production and preservation of affordable rental housing. It has financed nearly 3.5 million apartments since 1986, providing affordable homes to approximately 8 million low-income households, including families, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities. The Housing Credit brings together private-sector resources and oversight by state agencies, resulting in a durable solution to the need for affordable housing. The AHCIA of 2021 includes a number of provisions that would enhance the program and enable cities like ours to better serve the affordable housing needs in our communities.
