April 22 is the one year anniversary of the Northampton Community Support Network. So how are we progressing?
The Northampton Recovery Center will be moving to its own space at 2 Gleason Plaza on May 1 and over the next year you can expect its Recovery and wellness programming to expand.
As for a community center that focuses on supporting those experiencing struggles with homelessness, poverty, addiction, mental health and trauma, that’s making progress as well.
Recently Northampton Connects held a town hall meeting where my community center concept was discussed with great favor by the majority of the attendees.
Then a few days ago the city released a survey on Downtown Northampton which asked citizens if there was a need for such a community center which was described exactly as I’ve been promoting it.
The city seems to be rallying around the idea and that makes me very excited.
