The ABCD Thelma D. Burns Building is a historic property on the Roxbury/North Dorchester line that has evolved over the decades. Named for longtime ABCD Board Member, inspiring community leader and activist Thelma D. Burns, the building was stunningly renovated and dedicated to Mrs. Burns in May 2016. The Burns building hosts many ABCD events throughout the year, while also serving as a hub of activity for the community at large.
ABCD is incorporated to provide urban “human renewal” with a $1.9 million grant from the Ford Foundation and funding from the Permanent Charity Fund (now The Boston Foundation).
