The idea
Allston Brighton is among the most overlooked community in the city! We don’t have a fully functioning community center or any city resources readily available for the neighborhood. We should have a temporary community center in Allston Brighton!!
Who it helps and why
A temporary community center in a storefront or somewhere else in Allston would serve its diverse neighborhood population including immigrants, queer and trans people, artists, young and old folks. It would be beneficial while Jackson Mann community center is undergoing construction and design
