HarborCOV launches Massachusetts' first permanent affordable housing for families affected by Domestic Violence

January 2003 marked the opening of Casa Maribel, the first transitional-to-permanent housing designed specifically to for survivors and their children who have lost their homes because of domestic violence. Named for a local woman stabbed to death one Saturday morning by her boyfriend on a main street, Casa Maribel includes three affordable apartments, the first of 50 to be developed over the next five years through HarborCOV's Community Housing Initiative. This innovative program was developed to provide safe, affordable housing for those affected by domestic violence while empowering them toward family, economic and community stability. It is the first in the state of Massachusetts to provide a continuum of care that helps families achieve self-sufficiency. Read Press release
