Restore the North Cambridge Mural before it’s gone!
This art display absorbs the positive energy that comes from neighbors gathering, kids play around it, it is used it as a backdrop for many pictures and it is very busy during basketball and tennis season. It must be refurbished for the benefit of the North Cambridge community!

78-80 Porter Road
In 2009, the Cambridge Housing authority (CHA) through its Cambridge Affordable Housing Corporation (CAHC) purchased a 26-unit rental property in Porter Square, also known as 78-80 Porter Road, with the financial assistance from the Cambridge Affordable Housing Trust. Additional financing was used to significantly renovate the property and convert the mostly market-rate housing units into affordable housing rented out to income-eligible residents. In the process of updating and replacing old systems, the CHA was able to maintain and restore historically significant elements of the building.
