Welcome Home to BLUME on the Ave—Built by the Community, for the Community
At DVM Housing Partners, we believe homeownership should be within reach for everyone. That’s why we’re bringing BLUME on the Ave to life—30 affordable homes in the heart of Mattapan, designed with and for the community.
More than just housing, BLUME on the Ave is a celebration of Mattapan’s history, resilience, and future. Every detail—from the architecture to the commercial spaces—reflects the voices of local residents, ensuring this neighborhood continues to thrive. By uplifting local entrepreneurs and preventing displacement, we’re not just building homes; we’re cultivating opportunity.
Together, we’re shaping a future where everyone can grow, thrive, and BLUME.
Together, we envision revitalizing the Lower Blue Hill Avenue corridor from within—creating a community where residents can thrive without displacement. By preserving local culture and fostering sustainable economic growth, we’re committed to ensuring that this community thrives without losing its unique spirit or pushing out those who have always called it home. Our vision is a mini district that is created with residents in mind as a model for development while maintaining culture and respecting residents nurturing community-driven growth for years to come.
