The
Welcome Project is a community-based initiative that began in
the Mystic Public Housing Development of Somerville,
Massachusetts in 1987. As new residents were arriving from
Haiti, Central America, Viet Nam and other parts of the world,
many were victims of discrimination and harassment. The
founders of the Welcome Project, a dedicated group of tenants
and community members, came together to welcome and support
our new residents.
