Community Organiztions & Affordable Opportunities

The City of Somerville Site had a great deal of good information on the Affordable Housing front.
http://www.somervillema.gov/Division.cfm?orgunit=HOUSING

Some of the main pages that have good information were:
MA Affordable Housing Lotteries Site: http://www.massaffordablehomes.org/homeownershipu.aspx
City of Somerville Affordable Housing Page:
http://www.somervillema.gov/section.cfm?org=housing&page=894
Beacon St. Home Lottery: http://www.somervillema.gov/cos_content/documents/221BeaconStreet.pdf
Endicott Ave Home Lottery: http://www.somervillema.gov/cos_content/documents/EndicottAveNotice.pdf
List of Somerville Housing Organizations:
http://www.somervillema.gov/Section.cfm?org=OSPCD&page=1490


The Union Square Main Street Site http://www.unionsquaremain.org/ that is already linked to the blog, had some of the best information about Union Square itself: business, art, events, history, etc. Some of the history and architectural links:
http://www.ci.somerville.ma.us/CoS_Content/documents/ProspectHillTourWalkingTour.pdf
http://www.somervillema.gov/CoS_Content/documents/UnionSquareSelf-GuidedTour.pdf
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/19046717/A18-Union-Square-Tour-2
http://www.ci.somerville.ma.us/CoS_Content/documents/Union%20Square%20Revisited.pdf


Because of the art/design influence of the local community in Union Square, The Arts Council, http://www.somervilleartscouncil.org/index.html is another source for what is going in the area. Fringe, http://thefringemovement.com/ is a group of artist and designers that currently work and live in the Union Square area. (I had a chance to talk with some of these people Monday night after the City Meeting). The main issue that I found in research and talking to people, is the abilty to keep the artistic and creative people in Union Square once the Green Line comes in 2014.


See everyone tonight.

With hаvin so much content аnd articles do уou ever run intο any isѕueѕ of plagorism oг copyright ѵiolation?
Mу webѕite has a lоt of completеlу unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd
genuіnely apprecіatе it.
