Why 24 Webster?
Somerville is a thriving city, but opportunities for family-sustaining work, quality education, and affordable homes have not been accessible to all residents. As a nonprofit community development corporation, Just A Start is focused on creating livable, vibrant communities guided by shared needs. Together we can create approximately 45 new apartments, helping more families to live affordably in Somerville.
Access to housing that a wide range of people can afford is a key ingredient in a healthy, vibrant community. Quality, stable housing is linked to higher student achievement, better health and well-being outcomes, and increased economic mobility. Our community is healthier and stronger when people's homes-- like 24 Webster Ave-- are located near their jobs, schools, parks, bike paths, public transit, and grocery stores.
