Hearth - Ruggles Assisted Living is a mixed-income community with age restrictions – income qualifications and rent restrictions may apply. Ruggles Assisted Living Community is a collaboration among New Communities Services, Inc., New Atlantic Development Corporation, and Hearth, Inc., and is the adaptive re-use of a former school building into 43 studio apartment homes for low-income homeless elders.

Beautiful common areas include the living room with piano, main dining room, activities room with full kitchen, and the lovely sunroom which overlooks the beautiful community patio and garden. Hearth’s staff and volunteers support the resident service needs of the community as well as resident activities. This renovated building is an important catalyst for the reclamation of the Roxbury Dudley Square neighborhood, envisioned to one day include cultural, educational, and entertainment venues.
