Neighbor to Neighbor Awarded $50K For Campaigns In Worcester, Other MA Cities

WORCESTER, MA — A Bay State nonprofit was awarded tens of thousands of dollars from Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell for campaigns in three cities, including Worcester.

Neighbor to Neighbor -- Holyoke, Springfield, Worcester was awarded $50,000 through Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell's inaugural environmental justice fund. AG Campbell announced Thursday that $475,000 will be distributed to 12 organizations across the state to address economic, environmental, and health-related burdens.

N2N will use the funding to provide education, leadership development and civic engagement through workshops and trainings in the three cities. The money will strengthen civic engagement in those communities, according to a news release from the AG.

N2N also completes data collection for a tenant survey and landlord report cards on environmental health hazards.

“At Neighbor to Neighbor, we understand housing and environmental justice are inseparable. When families in our communities are breathing mold, living with poor air quality, or struggling under extreme energy burdens, it's no longer an individual problem; we now have a public health crisis," said J. Miles Gresham, Policy & Campaigns Director and Lena Entin, Director of Individual Giving at Neighbor to Neighbor.
