Beverly Affordable Housing Coalition to work on filling 65-unit Affordable-Housing Development

The Beverly Citizen reported that the Beverly Affordable Housing Coalition and the North Shore United Way have organized an umbrella group of 11 social-service agencies in hopes to remake parts of the Gloucester Crossing neighborhood through Holcroft Park Homes, and also to help build the families that will live in the 65-unit affordable-housing development.

The group, under the banner of the “Gloucester Crossing Resource Group”, have been joined by the likes of Beverly Bootstraps, Health Quarters the North Shore Career Center, and the Police Department, and will cover everything from education, job training, day care, fuel assistance, literacy education, tax preparation, health services and law enforcement. The vision of Gloucester Crossing Resource Group is to provide a model for communities on the North Shore as communities grapple with solutions to poverty and a persistent affordable housing crisis.
