The East Greenwich Housing Authority owns and manages 27 units of conventional public housing at Dedford Farm and Marlborough Crossings.
Dedford Farm contains structures dating to 1848 and, from the late 1940’s into the 1980’s, was the East Greenwich “Poor Farm”. Rehabilitation of the 12 units on the site today was completed in 1990. In 1995, the construction of Marlborough Crossing at the site of the former “Railroad Inn” on Duke Street added another 16 public housing units.
