South Boston Neighborhood Development Corporation (NDC) is striving to create a public pocket park and community garden on an underutilized vacant lot. This area of South Boston lacks open space and trees, so transforming this lot into an asset will provide an environmental improvement for the neighborhood and gardening access to low-income residents. The project would include cedar garden planters for community gardeners and stone dust paths for ADA accessible access. NDC will enlist volunteers from the community to help with the process to give them a sense of ownership.

Worcester Common Ground works to promote and develop permanent and sustainable improvement in underserved neighborhoods of Central Worcester through affordable housing, community activism and economic development. This project would add a community room for WCG's low-income neighbors of all ages, where they could host a birthday party for their children or have a safe space to go outside of their home. For children, this space will serve as an after-school hangout space or a place where kids can complete their homework or meet for group projects.
