We are very excited to host our 26th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament on September 13th! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! There are still sponsorship opportunities available to those interested. Have a fantastic Labor Day weekend!

What a busy day for Curwin Circle youth! Their first stop was at City Hall to meet the Mayor and pick up donated supplies from City employees & Chris Nardone at Salem Five. Then, the longtime Curwin family from the “Flora Epps Giving Fund” came to our Recreation Hall to give out backpacks in honor of their mother who lived in Curwin Circle for over 30 years. We also received donations of school supplies and boxes of baby formula from Centerboard. In the evening, the Lynn Police Department, Mayor's Office, and Jay Walsh stopped by to chat with the Curwin community. We are grateful for everyone who took part in this eventful day!

Here are more highlights and happy faces from our 2024 Family Day!

This past weekend LHAND families enjoyed a day of fun activities, treats, and community! Attendees were treated to goodie bags, pony rides, face painting, crafts, and more.

At the last Lynn Continuum of Care's meeting, Brandy Rodriguez had the pleasure of presenting Harry McCabe with the 2024 Beacon of Hope Award! After receiving his flowers and award, Harry gave a very heartfelt acceptance speech. He goes above and beyond every single day within and outside of the agency! May we all follow his lead in being excellent community members and strong supporters of ending homelessness.

This year, the Lynn Housing Authority & Neighborhood Development scholarship program created a new application category for students wishing to go into the field of business in memory of Laurie Walsh, former Chairperson of LHAND Board of Commissioners and co-owner of John's Oil. Laurie was an incredible community leader and businessperson with a huge heart and fantastic work ethic. Her son, Jay Walsh, had the honor of presenting this scholarship award to KIPP graduate Saja Suliman. We hope to continue Laurie's legacy by creating more opportunities for hardworking students, like Saja, for many years to come!

The Annual Lynn CoC Beacon of Hope Award is presented at their Annual Meeting each June to recognize an outstanding individual in the community who goes above and beyond what is expected of them, by being a strong supporter of ending homelessness.

The nominee should specifically meet the following criteria:
• Embodies the mission of the CoC- the nominee shall display in their daily work the mission of ending homelessness.
• Goes above and beyond – the nominee typically does more than what is required and makes a visible difference in the life of persons being served.
• Demonstrates Dignity and Respect – at all times while engaging with all persons.
• Community – Contributions represent a true sense of community.

Harry is a fantastic example of what it means to be a Beacon of Hope. Congratulations and thank you for all that you do, Harry!
