MHP (Massachusetts Housing Partnership)

MHP Cares, a subcommittee of the MHP Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Working Group, is in response to staff interest in developing a culture of philanthropy and volunteering within the organization. Staff can use work hours to serve communities in Massachusetts. A group recently volunteered with East Somerville Main Streets, helping to clean up the East Somerville area. EAST SOMERVILLE MAIN STREET INC is part of a nationwide movement of nearly 1400 Main Street Organizations working to build thriving local economies and centers of community.

In June, Jane Petrie joined us as a Corcoran Center for Real Estate and Urban Action Summer Intern. Jane is a rising senior at Boston College, where she's pursuing a Business major and is a member of BC's Division 1 Varsity Women's Volleyball team. Jane kicked off her summer with us by attending our two-day Housing Institute in Worcester and then spearheaded an executive summary of the event, offering insights and recommendations to enhance future events. Then, she headed to Provincetown to attend a groundbreaking ceremony and visit several affordable housing developments in the area. She finished up her time with the Community Assistance team with much-appreciated support for their 3A work. Jane then headed down the hall to Rental Financing where she supported our green housing and transit-oriented development initiatives before participating in a site visit to evaluate a 40B project. Jane says, "My summer experience provided me with valuable insights into housing challenges and financial mechanisms, contributing to my growth in real estate and community development." Thanks for all of your work this summer, Jane! We can't wait to see what your future holds. Megan Mulcahy Mark Curtiss Laura Shufelt
