Thanks to all who came out for the first South Holyoke Community Conversation last week! Abacus Architects + Planners and The Berkshire Design Group, Inc. presented various options for the housing initiative planned around Carlos Vega Park. Stay tuned for the next meeting in July to continue the conversation. Big thanks to Nueva Esperanza, Inc. for hosting us. Photo credit to Dennis Marrero.

Staff from HHA’s Resident Services Department was glad to be in attendance at the annual Holyoke Community College Scholarship Reception on May 9^th as 3 very deserving tenants were awarded the Anne Marie-Darcy Memorial Scholarship, which was endowed by the Authority’s Board of Commissioners and is now in memory of Anne.

Kiara Nazario-Cartagena, Shakira Hernandez and Gladys Suero received the scholarship which will assist them in furthering their education in the fields of Early Childhood Education and Nursing.  We are very proud and wish you all the best in your time at HCC and beyond.
