YWCA at Hillside Now Accepting Applications

YWCA Greater Newburyport is now accepting applications for affordable and subsidized single room occupancy units at the YWCA at Hillside in Newburyport, MA.  A preference will be provided to homeless individuals, those requiring a wheelchair accessible unit and those requiring a sensory unit.

Single Room Occupancy units come with a private bathroom but share kitchen and common rooms with other tenants.

This project is designed to be environmentally sustainable.  While utilities are included, tenants are expected to participate in programs that seek to minimize environmental impact, including energy conservation and recycling.  This is a NON SMOKING project.
