Volunteers Needed!

Our Neighbors are being evicted and our community destabilized by the foreclosure crisis!


The Community Action Agency of Somerville (CAAS) in collaboration with Cambridge & Somerville Legal Services (CASLS) is initiating a post-foreclosure outreach and organizing campaing in Somerville.

We are asking YOU to join us as we go door-to-door to foreclosed properties in Somerville to talk with owners and tenants about their rights and how it may be possible for them to stay in their homes.

WHEN: Sunday, November 1st, 1:00-4:30PM
WHERE: CAAS, 66-70 Union Sq., Somerville
(Located directly above the Precinct Bar. 
Take bus #87 from Davis Sq.)

WHAT: a brief training, some snacks,
lots of door-knocking, and a quick debrief.
PLEASE RSVP TO: Rachel Bedick, 617-623-1392 ext. 141

Burdening the homeless-shelter system further, when the family is already adequately housed, does not make sense. Especially if the result is a vacant house.

I agree. This is something that needs fixing now.
