Lenox Street Projects is a low-income housing project in the Lower Roxbury section of Boston, Massachusetts. The 376-unit three-story brick buildings were built in 1939 and was the first housing project in Boston that African American families were able to move into.[1][2] In recent years, it has become infamous for violence and gang activity.[3]
