Home City Development

Over the past several weeks, our Digital Navigator, Jacob Galarza, has been visiting HCDI communities to host Aervivo Info Sessions at Brookings, Chestnut, Liberty Hill, and Tapley!

These sessions gave residents the opportunity to learn more about the internet plans available at their properties, ask questions, and explore options that can help keep their households connected. 🏠💻

Along the way, residents enjoyed food, participated in raffles, and even earned points through the Union Capital app, which can be redeemed for gift cards through community participation. 🎉🎁

We’re grateful to everyone who came out, asked questions, and took part in these sessions. Creating opportunities to bring information and resources directly to our residents is an important part of building connected communities.

This project was funded by the Massachusetts Broadband Institute at the MassTech Collaborative under the RANGE Program. Funding was provided by Massachusetts ARPA Capital Projects Fund.

🎉 Kids Club Starts TODAY!

We’re excited to welcome our Liberty Hill youth back for another year of learning, fun, and activities! 📚🎨

Liberty Hill residents interested in signing their child up can send us a message & we'll send you the registration form.

Springfield’s housing future is shaped by the voices of the people who live, work, and invest in our communities.

Home City Development Inc. is proud to be part of this important conversation, with Executive Director Justin Rudgick serving on the Steering Committee helping guide strategic discussions around Springfield’s housing needs and opportunities.

Residents and community members are invited to attend an upcoming Open House, preview draft content, share their perspective, and help shape the direction of Springfield’s housing future.

Day 2 with Angel Rios at The Kids Club was all about PURPOSE.

Angel challenged our youth to think deeper about who they are, what drives them, and how discovering their purpose can shape their future. Through meaningful conversation, students reflected on their goals, passions, and the impact they want to make in the world.

After the discussion, the learning continued outside through team-building games that encouraged communication, trust, and leadership. It was a day filled with growth, laughter, and valuable life lessons.

Thank you, Angel, for investing in our youth and helping them understand that purpose isn’t something they find, it’s something they build through their actions every day.
