North Dartmouth, MA – South Coast Improvement Company announced it has been selected by Partners in Housing to provide new construction of the Mendes-Monteiro House in North Dartmouth.
A recent groundbreaking ceremony kicked off the construction of Mendes-Monteiro House, a 7,775sf, 10-unit affordable housing development for seniors who receive services from the Department of Mental Health. The multi-residential development is a new construction of a single-story building consisting of a four-bedroom Congregate Housing Group Home and six one-bedroom Independent Living Apartments with associated site and landscape work.

“We are thrilled to embark on this transformative project with Partners in Housing,” said Eric Frias, project executive at South Coast Improvement Company. “This project is not just about construction; it’s a heartfelt mission to bridge the critical gap in affordable housing that I know of all too well from my upbringing in the Dartmouth area. Together, we are poised to transform lives and uplift the community.”
The building is named in memory of two longstanding board members of the Dartmouth Housing Authority: Joseph Mendes and Joseph Monteiro, who were strong advocates for the elderly and disabled.
“With a proven track record of successful affordable housing projects, South Coast Improvement Company brings expertise and reliability to this collaboration. Together, we are committed to impacting our community’s housing landscape,” said Connie Desbiens, retired executive director, Dartmouth Housing Authority.
