Residents have a little less than three weeks left to submit comments on a proposal to convert a Dorchester hotel into permanent housing for those who are experiencing homelessness.
An image from the proposed plan for the conversion of the Comfort Inn at 900 Morrissey Boulevard in Dorchester. The plan is to create housing for those experiencing chronic homelessness.
Maggie Mancuso was one of them. She's a lifelong Dorchester resident, and said she's raising her kids on the same street she grew up on. She says she's in support of the mission of the project. But says with three schools, a community center, and a multi-lane road — all near or next to the hotel — it's the wrong space for this type of housing.
"We're maxed out, we don't need it," said Dillon."Find somewhere else. There's a ton of places in the city that this can go in and, better yet, go outside the city. Why does Dorchester, Roxbury always have to take the brunt of this? And we're just ... we're done. We've had enough."

According to the developer, the 15,300 square feet of water features would lose only about “43,200 gallons a day from evaporation.” Most of the water features, including a 1.5-million gallon pond plus multiple pools and a “river” will require culinary-grade water. According to Washington County Water Conservancy District (WCWCD) executive director, “there is no analysis of how much culinary water will be needed for the recreation aspects of the park.”
