In 2020, Brightside adopted the ambitious goal of doubling the number of affordable homes we provide by 2030. Redevelopments and new developments are essential to realizing this goal and ensuring that we are able to provide more quality, affordable homes for seniors, families, individuals, and people with disabilities.
