EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Officials broke ground at the new Residences at Riverside Square apartments in East Providence Monday morning.
The development will include 16 one and two-bedroom apartments on Bullocks Point Avenue, including three units for youth transitioning out of foster care through a partnership with Foster Forward.
“This groundbreaking is a signal that we can do big things when we work together,” said Jennifer Hawkins, ONE Neighborhood Builders president. “While this project on its own won’t solve the state’s housing crisis, it is an example of the kinds of projects — at scale — that can.”
The apartments will serve low-income families, and three of the units will house young people coming out of foster care.
