What was once a set of 45 single-room occupancies in the former YMCA location on Cabot Street in Beverly is now 67 newly renovated full studio apartments.
News about such projects is often disseminated throughout a community with flyer printing.
The cost of the renovation was $22m and it was geared for residents on the North Shore, including those who have developmental disabilities or are facing homelessness. Housing facilities in Haverhill, Ipswich, Cape Ann, and Beverly are operated by the YMCA of the North Shore and reach out to over 500 children and adults.
Among the community partners and volunteers who helped with the construction and renovation of the apartments were The Golden Hanger Consignment Shop, St. Mary’s, and the Beverly Bike Shop.
President and CEO of the YMCA of the North Shore, Chris Lovasco, said that it is important to have affordable and comfortable places to live. He expressed his pride in the commitment of the YMCA to meeting this need for members of the community. He spoke of his satisfaction in seeing the community come together on such a project.
CFO of the YMCA of the North Shore, Kevin McCarthy, also expressed his thrill in having this project completed in a timely fashion and adding more units to serve the affordable housing needs of the community.
