Bay Cove’s Chelsea Commons Program: A Special Place to Call Home

On January 26, Bay Cove was proud to join the Massachusetts Housing & Shelter Alliance (MHSA) and all our community partners in Chelsea to celebrate recent renovations to our permanent supportive housing program, Chelsea Commons.

The open house brought together residents, staff from Bay Cove and MHSA, and community stakeholders at this former YMCA building that has been converted into a lovely, welcoming home for more than 50 men who were previously experiencing homelessness.

Guest speakers included Joe Finn, President/Executive Director of MHSA; Chelsea City Council President Leo Robinson; Property Owner/Developer Jim D’Amico; Alex Train, AICP Director, Housing and Community Development for the City of Chelsea; Dan Cortez, Community Engagement Specialist from the Chelsea Police; and our own Chief Operating Officer, Carley Lubarsky.
