Home City Development

🎃👻 Happy Halloween from all of us at Home City! Wishing our residents, families, and community partners a fun, safe, and spooktacular day! 🧡

🍓🧀 A little creativity, a lot of teamwork, and a whole lot of deliciousness!

Last week, our Liberty Hill Kids Club teamed up with 4-H to create their very own charcuterie board! From arranging fresh fruit to putting together all the tasty treats, the kids had a blast bringing their masterpiece to life. 😋

But let’s be honest… we’re pretty sure the best part was getting to eat it afterward! 😂❤️

A big thank-you to Massachusetts 4-H Program for making this fun and memorable experience possible!

🏡 Every family deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. Affordable housing helps families build stability, focus on their goals, and create a brighter future together. When families thrive, our communities grow stronger! 💙

🤝 Building what's next!

Last Wednesday, Home City’s Executive Director, Justin Rudgick, hosted a Meet & Greet to share the story of Home City Development Inc., reflect on our history, and discuss the goals we’re working toward as an organization.

It was a pleasure connecting with community members, hearing their perspectives, and sharing more about the future of Home City. Thank you to everyone who took the time to join us! ❤️

🌎 Honoring Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Today, we honor Indigenous peoples, celebrate their rich cultures and traditions, and recognize their lasting contributions to our communities. It’s a day to reflect, learn, and appreciate the histories and voices that continue to shape our world.

At Home City, we believe that recognizing our diverse histories and experiences helps build stronger, more connected communities. ❤️

The Home City crew came together last week for a day filled with fun, laughter, good food, and plenty of memories. Our team got into groups and took on a fun scavenger hunt put together by our Resident Engagement Coordinator, Jessica Solana! 🗺️🔎

It was a great opportunity to enjoy some quality team time. ❤️

From start to finish, it was a 10/10 experience with the HCDI crew! 🙌

Over the past several weeks, our Digital Navigator, Jacob Galarza, has been visiting HCDI communities to host Aervivo Info Sessions at Brookings, Chestnut, Liberty Hill, and Tapley!

These sessions gave residents the opportunity to learn more about the internet plans available at their properties, ask questions, and explore options that can help keep their households connected. 🏠💻

Along the way, residents enjoyed food, participated in raffles, and even earned points through the Union Capital app, which can be redeemed for gift cards through community participation. 🎉🎁

We’re grateful to everyone who came out, asked questions, and took part in these sessions. Creating opportunities to bring information and resources directly to our residents is an important part of building connected communities.

This project was funded by the Massachusetts Broadband Institute at the MassTech Collaborative under the RANGE Program. Funding was provided by Massachusetts ARPA Capital Projects Fund.
