Mayor Warren along with the Newton Departments of Health & Human Services and Planning & Development invites you to participate in an important event regarding the future use of federal funds, including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds to further community development, including housing and human services for the City of Newton.
Newton is fortunate to be the recipient each year of federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to address local needs for low- and moderate-income populations. Every five years, City staff assesses market conditions, affordable housing and community development needs, and with community input develops data-driven, place-based investment strategies and goals which are contained within the Consolidated Plan.
At this event, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss ways to foster successful outcomes for individuals and families through use of available funds and to learn how they can be involved in the development of this community-wide plan. This evening will be the first of many upcoming events that will be held to address accessible public places, affordable housing, human services, neighborhood improvements and economic development.

Young Adult event with Heather Terrell, author of RELIC: The Books of Eva I.
Ages 11 & up welcome.
Relic: for fans of Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games: high fantasy and dystopia meet in this high-stakes tale of a civilization built on lies and the girl who single-handedly brings it down.
Heather Terrell is a lawyer with more than ten years’ experience as a litigator at two of the country’s premier law firms and for Fortune 500 companies. She is a magna cum laude graduate of Boston College with a focus in History, and a cum laude graduate of the Boston University School of Law. While practicing as a lawyer, Heather dreamed of a fantastical job unraveling the larger mysteries of time and uncovering the truths lurking in legend and myth — and found it when she tried her hand at writing. She first wrote the historical novels The Chrysalis and The Map Thief, which will appear in more than ten countries, as well as Brigid of Kildare. She made the transition to young adult fiction with the series Fallen Angel — and continues it now with The Books of Eva.

To ensure that 500 local children in-need have the essentials to be safe and warm this winter, Mayor Setti Warren invites Newton community members to join in the Newton Community-wide Collection effort in support of Cradles to Crayons. Something as simple as cleaning out your closets can have an enormous impact. The coat that your daughter has outgrown or the pants that are now too short for your son can bring warmth to the life of a child.
From November 2nd – 17th, you can make a difference by dropping off new and like-new children’s items – clothing, winter coats, shoes, books, toys, and baby gear – in the 24-hour access collection unit brightly marked by Cradles to Crayons banners in the Newton City Hall parking lot across from the Public Library.
At this time of year, non-profit Cradles to Crayons receives hundreds of requests each week for essential items like clothing, shoes and boots, hats and gloves, and coats. The power of working together as a community will enable Cradles to Crayons to fulfill the requests from thousands of children across the Commonwealth who would otherwise be forced to go without these critical winter items.
For more information go to http://www.cradlestocrayons.org/boston .
Come join the fun while helping support The Second Step and survivors of domestic violence. Grab your friends, co-workers, family and neighbors (max 6 people/team) and see how much you really know!
There will be snacks, beer, wine and, of course, prizes! Tickets $45 per participant. For more information and to sign up, visit http://thesecondstep2.org/trivia/.
