On June 5, dozens of CATCH staff, volunteers, and supporters met at CATCH Neighborhood Housing’s offices to celebrate a ceremonial ribbon cutting, a kick-off to their 30th anniversary year, and recognition of NeighborWorks Week 2019. Concord Mayor Jim Bouley and Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce leadership and ambassadors joined the festivities, cutting the ribbon and extending support and well wishes for CATCH’s milestone.
As a NeighborWorks America network organization, CATCH participated in their annual nationwide celebration of neighborhood change and awareness. Throughout the week (June 1 to 8), CATCH participated in several events to promote awareness of the network and CATCH’s work in the housing arena. CATCH President Rosemary M. Heard participated in a discussion on NHPR’s The Exchange promoting housing as a key factor in the strength of N.H.’s workforce and economy. On June 6, Heard also received the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce’s Pinnacle Award for Business Leader of the Year, and encouraged the group of nearly 300 business leaders to support the creation of more housing that is affordable in our community.
The NeighborWorks network was founded and is supported by NeighborWorks America, which creates opportunities for people to live in affordable homes, improve their lives and strengthen their communities.
