Health & Human Services dept is not at 165 Broadway, but 50 Evergreen Ave. https://www.somervillema.gov/departments/health-and-human-services — 165 Broadway is the old fire station.
Which is the correct dropoff location?
Hey Somerville. Speaking of cold. If you cant afford to make a property fully functionable/up to code/rentable then you are not equipped to rent property out. stop bouncing people like me around town every cpl years just trying to find home only to not be able to settle in safely and comfortably because i have to be the one to complain that im working my butt off full time to pay every rent increase for the old outdated potential perpetual electrical/gas fire kindlings that are these house. large gas bills, yet house cold because crap windows, foundatons that shake when it rains or the wind blows, having to shave bathroom doors down on the bottom just to be able to close them (if the house tilt just the wrong way over the alignment of a gas pipes then what?) and feeling electrical currents run through your fingertips when you try to change lightbulbs? living in bedbug riddled apartments that you werent warned about til you were stuck living with them a week after you move in then being bullied out when you ask the landlord to get actually bedbug rid local court just says go your seperate way and shush when you say you arent cool with being bullied about leaving a place you should get your rent money back for because it wasnt fit to in the first place live in. im from boston ma. i was born here. my family was raised in somerville. and the only time yall care to make a house fully functional is after people like me have worked our butts off just to bring an out of town rich kids parent money in? to kick my hardworking butt to another disfunctuonal house to go pay rent increases while i tell the landlord this isnt fit to rent but they take my money enough to go ahead and fix it enough just so it look good enough for the rich kid to move in?
if you’re gonna care about the warmth of the people of somerville try caring about everybody who lives and works extra hard for and in try caring bout not just the ones who come after the ones who help you get your last little financial umph enough to only then kick out the ones who line your pockets enough to entice the rich kids to move in
