Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell will be hosting three homeowner information sessions for a home they will be building on Dalton Street in Lowell beginning this winter. The sessions are being held on September 8, 12 and 14. This is a great opportunity to own a home, often at a cost lower than current rents! Anyone interested must attend one of these sessions to apply to become a Habitat Partner family. If you have any questions, please call 978-692-0927 or email info@lowellhabitat.org.

The 2013 Greater Lowell Community Health Needs Assessment highlighted that members of the LGBTQ community are at great risk.  The report stated that members who are isolated or without family support are at risk of developing mental health, substance abuse and other issues. There is a lack of sensitivity to this community by many healthcare professionals, a lack of outreach, as well as a lack of awareness of transgender individuals.  Individuals in this community tend to go to Boston to seek care, as there is a better sense of acceptance, expertise and confidentiality.The Sub Committee aims to address these concerns.

The next meeting will be on September 24, 2015, 12 – 2pm, 2nd Floor Board Room, Lowell General Hospital, Saints Campus, 1 Hospital Drive, Lowell, MA
