|
will soon provide housing for 141 low-income senior households. |
|
|
|
|
|
Walnut Street, an affordable housing project being developed by the Affordable |
|
Housing Services Collaborative and Onyx, will turn land that has been vacant for |
|
decades into much-needed affordable housing. |
|
|
|
|
|
“Housing is empowering. No matter our age, it is a comfort not to worry about |
|
whether we can afford a place,” Onyx CEO Chanda Smart said at a press conference |
|
Thursday. “Senior housing for the town of Foxborough means that seniors who worked |
|
and raised their families here in Foxborough still have the opportunity to remain |
|
here.” |
|
|
|
|
|
Foxborough State Hospital opened in 1889 as the Massachusetts Hospital for Dipsomaniacs |
|
and Inebriates for treatment of alcoholism, according to the National Park Service, |
|
and was later converted to a standard psychiatric hospital. It closed in 1975, |
|
and parts of the property have already been redeveloped over the years. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Foxborough Housing Authority first began working on the project back in 2011. |
|
The land was transferred to the agency from the state in 2017 to be used for affordable |
|
housing. |
|
|
|
|
|
Acting Town Manager Paige Duncan told MassLive that the town held a number of |
|
community meetings to decide what to build on the property. |
|
|
|
|
|
“It was controversial, but what came out was a clear support for senior housing,” |
|
she said. “We really tried to address the needs of the community and we came up |
|
with a project that was sensitive to the area. We didn’t want a big block of buildings |
|
that towered over the neighborhood.” |
|
|
|
|
|
After that, she said, there was overwhelming support for the project. The permits |
|
were filed in February and approved by April, an almost unheard-of timeline. |
|
|
|
|
|
The finished project will provide 141 new apartments for residents age 55 and |
|
over. Of those, 35 will be reserved for people making 30% or less of the area |
|
median income, and 85 will be for those making 60% AMI. Foxborough residents will |
|
be given preference for 70% of the units. |
|
|
|
|
|
A second phase of the project once this one is complete will add approximately |
|
60 more units. |
|
|
|
|
|
Greg Spiers, chairman of the Housing Authority, said the new senior housing was |
|
badly needed, noting there are about 5,500 elderly and disabled people on public |
|
housing waiting lists in Massachusetts. |
|
|
|
|
|
“With 195 of those on that list Foxborough residents, that 70% local preference |
|
for first-time rentals is one of our goals,” he said. “The need is so great for |
|
affordable housing in our area and the entire state.” |
|
|
|
|
|
Housing and Livable Communities Secretary Ed Augustus praised the town for its |
|
dedication to creating more affordable housing, even though more than 10% of its |
|
total housing units qualify as affordable. The 10% threshold is the state requirement |
|
to stop projects being filed under Chapter 40B, a law which allows affordable |
|
housing developments to bypass certain local permitting requirements. |
|
|
|
|
|
“You know that that is just an arbitrary number, but the real needs are significantly |
|
more than that,” Augustus said. “We need more communities to take note of what |
|
Foxborough is doing.” |
|
|
|
|
|
Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll said the project is a good example of the use of surplus |
|
state land for housing. Gov. Maura Healey’s housing bond bill filed in October |
|
included a proposed $30 million that would support similar projects to use underutilized |
|
state property for housing. Healey also issued an executive order requesting state |
|
agencies to conduct an audit of their property to find land any surplus land suitable |
|
for this purpose. |
|
|
|
|
|
“Converting state-owned land to another entity can be a little bit of a torturous |
|
pathway. We know that building all the resources you need takes time,” Driscoll |
|
said Thursday. “How do we leverage the cost of land, which is one of the reasons |
|
housing is so expensive, to build the type of housing we need, but do it in a |
|
shorter timetable? That’s what this (project) is all about.” |
|
|
|
|
|
The project has received more than $25 million in state and federal funding, including |
|
through American Rescue Plan Act rental funds and state and federal Low Income |
|
Housing Tax Credits. Work on the site has not yet started.' |

|
campus feels kind of nerve-wracking,” said Jasmine Rodriguez, 21. “But I feel |

more experienced than I did in my first year. I had a lot of anxiety in my first |
|
year, but now it’s been really chill.” |

As about a dozen Northeastern University students went around a conference table |
|
talking about their college experiences, voices were soft and answers halting, |
|
at least initially. Gradually, though, the students at this check-in meeting last |
|
fall began to open up and speak candidly about the challenges and adjustments |
|
of college life. |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
The students were Black, Latino, and Asian American and ranged from first-years |
|
to seniors, mostly from neighborhoods across Boston; the majority were the first |
|
generation of their family to attend college. Most were their high schools’ valedictorians |
|
— hardworking, smart students who excelled despite lacking the advantages of many |
|
peers. |
|
|
|
|
|
That’s where The Valedictorian Project came in. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Boston-based nonprofit was founded in 2020 in response to the Boston Globe’s |
|
award-winning 2019 investigative series, The Valedictorians Project, which found |
|
that the city’s best and brightest public school students often encounter major |
|
obstacles to their academic and professional goals. (The Globe is not involved |
|
with the organization.) |
|
|
|
|
|
The Valedictorian Project matches participating high school graduates with peer |
|
mentors close to their age and a senior mentor who is an experienced professional |
|
in their intended line of work. It also provides a $500 stipend for books and |
|
other necessities, and supplemental support through partnerships with other organizations |
|
to help students navigate their new lives on campus and choose career paths. |
|
|
|
|
|
“Many of our mentors are first-gen college students themselves,” cofounder and |
|
executive director Amy McDermott said in an interview. “Many navigated very similar |
|
personal backgrounds to our mentees. I hear often in our mentor interviews, they |
|
want to be that person that they wish they had in navigating college.” |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
This academic year marks a milestone for the organization, as its first cohort |
|
of college freshmen are now seniors. |
|
|
|
|
|
McDermott said the organization began by inviting Boston valedictorians to participate |
|
in its first year, then added students from Lawrence in year two, Brockton and |
|
Worcester in 2022, and Chelsea last spring. |

Mentor John Marley, 30, of Taunton, said the organization helps level the playing |
|
field for young people who don’t come from privileged backgrounds. |
|
|
|
|
|
“Students from wealthier families have always had these mentorship relationships, |
|
always had these connections, and those things are just unseen,” said Marley, |
|
an attorney whose family came to the United States from Jamaica when he was 5. |
|
“Unfairly or not ... it’s always advantaged a particular group and class of students |
|
over another. And I think they do a good job addressing that.” |
|
|
|
|
|
This academic year, The Valedictorian Project is supporting 140 students, of whom |
|
about three-quarters are first-generation college students and roughly 85 percent |
|
are people of color, according to McDermott. Besides Northeastern, students in |
|
the program attend Boston University, Harvard, MIT, Tufts, Brown, Yale, Stanford, |
|
and other colleges around the country, she said. |
|
|
|
|
|
As a student of color at an expensive private university, Rodriguez said, “You |
|
have to physically go out and try to find people that look like you. And I feel |
|
like for everyone else, it’s very easy. They find them in their classes. But it’s |
|
like, in my classes there’ll be like one other Black or Hispanic person.” |

Rodriguez, a Dorchester native majoring in communications and sociology, recently |
|
spent a year as a social media co-op for an organization that supports domestic |
|
violence victims. She is drawn to work that will help others, she said, because |
|
she saw people in need in her neighborhood and her own family as she grew up. |
|
|
|
|
|
“I saw a lot of people that look like me struggle and go through a lot of things,” |
|
she said. “My mom is an immigrant. … We grew up on Section 8 [housing assistance]; |
|
we grew up on food stamps and stuff like that.” |

Ciana Omnis, 20, a third-year industrial engineering major who grew up in Florida, |
|
moved to Dorchester at age 14, and was the 2021 valedictorian at Brighton High |
|
School. She is the eldest of three children, so she can’t lean on older siblings |
|
for advice, she said. |
|
|
|
|
|
Her father, a truck driver who immigrated to the United States from Haiti, didn’t |
|
complete high school, she said, while her mother, a health care administrator, |
|
completed an associate’s degree but doesn’t yet have her bachelor’s. |
|
|
|
|
|
“I’ve met a lot of people in college who have parents who have done four-year |
|
degrees or whatnot, or even other kinds of higher education, so they’re able to |
|
get advice from their parents,” Omnis said. “For me, it’s been a bit harder, because |
|
I have to kind of figure out certain things on my own.” |
|
|
|

|
Her mentors help fill that gap, she said, and the program helps her “meet other |
|
people who have the same background as me.” |
|
|
|
|
|
After they met through a Valedictorian Project event, John Le, who was the 2022 |
|
valedictorian at East Boston High School, became friends with Connor Lashley, |
|
the 2022 valedictorian at Jeremiah E. Burke High School in Dorchester. |
|
|
|
|
|
“One of the issues is socializing, like making a friend group, because from my |
|
experience, from each class you kind of like meet people there, but if you’re |
|
not in the same major, you might not be able to maintain a relationship with them,” |
|
said Le, 20. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Valedictorian Project, he added, “has really been helpful to meet people at |
|
Northeastern and ... find people with similar interests.” |
|
|
|
|
|
Lashley, 19, said his mentors have helped him learn how to network with others |
|
in his field and steered him toward scholarship opportunities, and he can count |
|
on their support whenever he needs it. |
|
|
|
|
|
“They’re pretty much available the same day if stuff comes up,” he said. |

Last week, the labor union that represents most Boston police officers ratified |
|
a new contract that will introduce a number of reforms – including one that will |
|
start allowing civilians to take unwanted traffic detail shifts at construction |
|
sites. |
|
|
|
|
|
Under the former contract, Boston Police officers were the only people allowed |
|
to direct traffic for events and at construction sites. And they got paid extremely |
|
handsomely to do so: Boston police working as flaggers take home $60 an hour. |
|
|
|
|
|
In spite of that lucrative pay, Boston has a lot of construction sites, and fewer |
|
and fewer people who want to wear a police uniform. |
|
|
|
|
|
Boston City Councilor Kendra Lara told StreetsblogMASS earlier this year that |
|
over 40 percent of requests for police details at construction sites were going |
|
unfilled. |
|
|
|
|
|
The new labor contract removes a key barrier to reforming this system. But there |
|
is still a city ordinance on the books that requires at least one Boston Police |
|
officer at every city construction site "to protect the safety and general welfare |
|
of the public and to preserve the free circulation of traffic." |
|
|
|
|
|
A press spokesperson for Mayor Michelle Wu told StreetsblogMASS last week that |
|
their office is aware of the ordinance and has "identified multiple legal paths |
|
to implementing the new collective bargaining agreement." |
|
|
|
|
|
Old rules created absurd delays for street projects |
|
|
|
|
|
Councilor Lara also told StreetsblogMASS that many privately-run construction |
|
sites will simply ignore the law and do their work without a flagger if nobody |
|
responds to their requests for a detail. |
|
|
|
|
|
But construction firms who are sticklers for the rules can end up waiting months |
|
before a cop shows up to let them get their work done. |
|
|
|
|
|
That''s what happened earlier this year in Oak Square, where the MBTA waited a |
|
full year for a police detail to show up so that they could paint some new crosswalks |
|
on Washington Street in Oak Square. |
|
|
|
|
|
Neighbors report that those crosswalks finally got painted in August – after a |
|
year-long wait. |
|
|
|
|
|
New contract hikes pay, allows civilian flaggers |
|
|
|
|
|
For all these reasons, allowing civilian flaggers at construction sites had been |
|
one of the city''s key points of negotiation for a new collective bargaining agreement |
|
with its police union. |
|
|
|
|
|
Police details will still be required at "high-priority" events and construction |
|
sites, which involve major streets, busy intersections, or major events that anticipate |
|
over 5,000 attendees. The new contract would also pay cops who work those high-priority |
|
details "the highest overtime rate of the most senior officer." |
|
|
|
|
|
At other worksites, such as those along quiet neighborhood streets, Boston Police |
|
would still get the right of first refusal to fill traffic details. But if no |
|
Boston Police are interested, the work can be offered to other non-BPD certified |
|
officers, including campus police and retired Boston cops. If people with those |
|
qualifications still aren''t interested, construction contractors can then offer |
|
the job to civilian workers. |
|
|
|
|
|
The agreement further specifies that anyone directing traffic in those lower-priority |
|
sites will earn $60 per hour. |
|
|
|
|
|
The new agreement will also ban cops from double-booking their shifts, which allowed |
|
some to get paid twice for the same period of time when one detail ended early. |
|
|
|
|
|
Incredibly, the police department is still using a labor-intensive paper-based |
|
system to assign details in each police district. The new agreement will allow |
|
for a citywide electronic scheduling system.' |

# SetFit with sentence-transformers/paraphrase-mpnet-base-v2 |
|
|
|
This is a [SetFit](https://github.com/huggingface/setfit) model trained on the [Kevinger/hub-report-dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Kevinger/hub-report-dataset) dataset that can be used for Text Classification. This SetFit model uses [sentence-transformers/paraphrase-mpnet-base-v2](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/paraphrase-mpnet-base-v2) as the Sentence Transformer embedding model. A OneVsRestClassifier instance is used for classification. |
|
|
|
The model has been trained using an efficient few-shot learning technique that involves: |
|
|
|
1. Fine-tuning a [Sentence Transformer](https://www.sbert.net) with contrastive learning. |
|
2. Training a classification head with features from the fine-tuned Sentence Transformer. |
