Sewall Place is a 14-unit, single-room occupancy development in the Winter Hill neighborhood. Formerly the Boys and Girls Club, the building has 13 housing units for formerly homeless individuals and one market-rate unit. Residency is open to both men and women; tenants share a common living kitchen and living area and each resident has a private bath. Residents participate in the upkeep of the home, attend house meetings where they collectively make decisions regarding house rules, and share a monthly community dinner.
The Somerville Homeless CoalitionĀ provides supportive services for the residents.
