Perhaps they are two different congregations, but the Holy Bible Baptist Church owns both buildings. The Holy Bible Baptist Church began at 45 College Avenue, purchased in 1995, and then purchased 64 College Avenue in 2010 (http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/somerville/2010/04/church_changes_hands_on_colleg.html). Unless there is a sale not registered, they are still the owners of the church at 45 College Avenue.
At the time of the sale of the 64 College Avenue church, there were numerous community organizations that utilized the large meeting space in the back of the building. Unless things have changed, only the homeless shelter in the basement was required to remain as terms for the purchase and the other organizations had to find new places to meet.
