Join the Housing and Services Resource Center (HSRC) for the second of its two- part webinar series starting on March 15. The need to work collaboratively to create solutions to improve access to affordable, accessible housing and the critical services that make community living possible has never been greater. With new funding and flexibilities, states and local stakeholders have a not-to-be-missed opportunity to sustainably connect housing and services in ways that improve housing stability for older adults, people with disabilities, and people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
From Starry, Inc.'s press release:
When: March 3 and every 2 weeks
Time: 1:00 PM ET/ 12:00 PM CT/ 11:00 AM MT/ 10:00 AM PT.
From the Boston Globe:
Boston wireless Internet service provider Starry struck a deal with the Cambridge Housing Authority to offer broadband connections to thousands of apartments in the city.
Under the deal announced on Thursday, Starry will provide $15-per-month Internet service to residents of more than 2,630 units. But the residents won’t have to pay even that price, as the cost of the service is eligible to be covered entirely by the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program.

Join us for the second of a four-part webinar series co-hosted by CLPHA and the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading.
Webinar Description
From The NYCHA Journal:
In 2021, NYCHA farms produced 22,000 pounds of organic fresh vegetables, greens, and herbs. There are currently seven farms on the Authority’s open spaces. The inaugural farm at Red Hook Houses was launched in 2013. The other six farms are located at Wagner Houses, Howard Houses, Bay View Houses, Forest Houses, Mariners Harbor Houses, and Pink Houses.
From the Boston Herald:
Boston’s kicking in $40 million to create 718 new housing units, Mayor Michelle Wu announced.
“Housing is health,” Wu said in a press conference on Tuesday. “It is opportunity and safety and stability and a monthly foundation for our recovery from this pandemic.”
In total, this $40 million is for 718 units, with nearly all of them to be newly created across 14 projects. One smaller grant is for preserving some senior housing.
