Sewall Place

Sewall Place is a 14-unit, single-room occupancy development in the Winter Hill neighborhood. Formerly the Boys and Girls Club, the building has 13 housing units for formerly homeless individuals and one market-rate unit. Residents have private bedrooms and bathrooms and share a living room, dining room and kitchen. The Somerville Homeless Coalition provides supportive services for the residents.

Walnut Street Apartments

In 2002, the affordability restriction on 110 Walnut Street was about to expire and the 12 units were at risk of being converted to market rents. SCC purchased and renovated the building and kept the units affordable through vouchers from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's project-based Section 8 program. By February 2004, existing tenants were able to stay in their newly renovated units and retain an affordable home.

"I'm proud to be involved with SCC because it's a group of people that come together seeking a win-win, mutually beneficial ways of building community. I think it's a way people reach beyond themselves and try to find some kind of common good which isn't that frequent these days. I've met lots of great individuals and been involved in some projects that are close to my heart.

"SCC has guided me to resources I didn't know existed, and showed me that I'm not alone. I was an individual who went from homeless to having lots of issues to being a realized individual, and eventually actually contributing to something larger than myself, which is this community. That's progress."
