Our Spring newsletter is out! 💙

Thank you, SPUR , for delivering WEEKLY prepared foods to our formerly homeless residents at our Boston Street Crossing in Salem. Through meaningful partnerships with local food stores, the SPUR Food Rescue Initiative rescues thousands of pounds of wholesome prepared food each year that would otherwise go to waste. Instead of ending up in landfills, these nutritious meals reach neighbors in need of a nutritious meal through organizations serving Lynn, Marblehead, Salem, and Swampscott.

"We are thrilled to be able to partner with SPUR through their food rescue program," said Rosa Ordaz, Harborlight's Director of Community Engagement & Services. "SPUR is an incredible organization that supports the well-being of residents throughout the North Shore in various ways, and the prepared meals rescued through this program for Harborlight residents will go a long way in maintaining food security."

Today is so much more than an extra day off. The true meaning of Memorial Day is written in sacrifice. Today we honor all those fallen soldiers - throughout our history - who gave their lives for this nation and our democracy. May they never be forgotten.

The Harborlight Homes’ team was happy to attend The Haven Project's Gala, “Grow the Good” and celebrate the work that is being done in support of youth facing homelessness. A pressing and real need taking many partners. Harborlight Homes is honored to have built to house those who Haven serves, and remain on as Property Manager, to assist with the lift so Haven can focus on the essential services of case management.

When collaborators bring their unique expertise to bear, amazing things happen. Congrats to the honoree, Gaeta of Lynn Housing Authority & Neighborhood Development, for his unyielding support of this project and the needs of these youth. Well done, Haven, on a successful event!

Last Thursday, Harborlight Homes was honored to receive the John and Mollie Byrnes Innovation Award from our partners at Pathways for Children. This partnership highlights the place-based affordable childcare that will be offered in partnership with Pathways through Harborlight’s project, The Lighthouse Center at Anchor Point, Beverly.

It was a wonderful evening celebrating alongside board and staff members while supporting Pathways vital work in early childhood education. We’re grateful for this recognition and excited to continue our partnership, and we are especially grateful to Mollie Byres, who has invested in this project. 🩵

We made it through a tough stretch of winter weather, with more than five feet of snow across our properties. During this time, each of our maintenance/facilities team members put in roughly 80 hours clearing snow and treating sites to keep everything safe and operational.

Even with the storms, the work didn’t slow down. Our teams also completed 14 unit turnovers and quickly responded to water damage in two units caused by the heavy snowfall during this time.

👏A huge thank you to our maintenance team for the long hours, dedication, and teamwork. It truly made a difference to our residents during an intense winter.

Today, we honor the courage and conviction of the individuals who stood up for liberty and justice at the very beginning of our nation’s story. As we also mark America’s 250th birthday, we’re reminded that the ideals this country was built on, service, resilience, and care for one another, are sustained by people and communities working together every day.

Patriots’ Day reinforces why our work matters. Just as the early patriots believed in a better future, we remain committed to strengthening our community and advancing opportunity for all. 💙
