On December 1, 2021, President Marcia Johnson sent a letter to Mr. Eamon Bencivengo, Housing Development Planner and the City’s Department of Planning & Development, on behalf of LWVN, expressing its preference for the Caritas Communities proposal for the redevelopment of the West Newton Armory. T he Caritas proposal provides the most units at the lowest Area Median Income and will serve the chronically homeless, a population that is currently underserved by Newton’s housing stock.
