Elias Brookings Apartments Ground Breaking
Congratulations to our funders, partners, staff, and elected public officials who came together over the last few years to make the Elias Brookings Apartments development possible! Because of these unusual times, we are officially celebrating this groundbreaking through this video, which includes messages from our funders and partners, as well as coverage of the small event held on March 26th. Please watch, share, and enjoy!
E. Henry Twiggs Estates phases I and II were completed in December of 2018. On June 6th, 2019, politicians, funders, staff, and community joined together to celebrate the renovation of 136 units in the Bay and Upper Hill neighborhoods.
Program included a special ceremony to honor Mr. Twiggs to honor his 50-plus years of service to the Springfield community.

We celebrated our 50th anniversary on Tuesday August 21st in Hennessey Park in Springfield. DJ Biz Markie (the legendary rapper and beatboxer) headlined the event and drew almost 1,000 local residents to the party!
Local residents enjoyed music from DJ Craig G followed by Biz Markie. An on-stage video screen displayed community and political leaders ranging from Governer Baker, to Senator Eric Lesser, to Congressman Neal wishing Home City a happy birthday between sets. Participants also enjoyed face-painting, temporary tattoos, balloon animals and hats, a caricature artist, a photo booth, great snacks, and much more.
