We wish to express to Mr. Nichols’ family and loved ones our absolute sympathy, our profound grief, and our support of the call for transparent justice.

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne and the City’s Department of Racial and Social Justice (RSJ) today invite Somerville residents and workers to apply to fill three open community seats on the Public Safety for All Task Force. Task force members will review feedback from thousands of community members, as well as expert testimonials and independent data to craft public safety policy recommendations for the City of Somerville. Applications are available starting Monday, January 30, at 8 a.m. and must be received by Friday, February 24, at 7 p.m.

With very heavy hearts we once again wish to share our deepest sympathies as well as information about supports available in the wake of not one but two mass shootings and a third shooting at a school in Iowa. 

Applying for affordable housing opportunities can be a daunting and time-consuming process that can prevent those most in need of below-market units from accessing them, so the City of Somerville is working to make the process easier with a new Consolidated Waitlist. The list will allow one application to be filed for all eligible upcoming affordable rental housing opportunities rather than requiring individual applications for each project.
