The Supporters of Engine 6 invite you to a public program on the proposal by Metro West Collaborative Development and Pine Street Inn to preserve the historic Waban firehouse, located on Beacon St. at Rte. 16, by creating low-income studio apartments for 9 formerly homeless individuals and 1 live-in house manager. So far the Mayor has withheld the necessary federal funds for it, but the proposal is still under consideration. Lyndia Downie, President and Executive Director of Pine Street Inn, will be the guest speaker.

Come learn more about permanent supportive housing for the homeless, affordable housing development in Newton, and how Engine 6 would serve Newton’s interests. The program will take place on September 23, 7:30 pm, at the Eliot Church (474 Centre St., Newton). For more information, email yesengine6@gmail.com or visit supportengine6.org.
