HRI

Applications for our Locally Led Brave Spaces are open, and this is the final week to apply!

Now in our 4th annual session, Brave Spaces continues to grow each year, bringing together community members for meaningful conversation and connection. Organized by local Cambridge residents and staff, this initiative is rooted in community leadership and shared experiences.

Sessions will be held every first Tuesday from May through August 6 PM. (Food, childcare and translations provided as necessary)

This year’s sessions will focus on:
• Grief and loss
• Understanding trauma
• Strengthening self-care practices

These sessions are open to the public. If you or someone you know would benefit from these topics, we encourage you to apply and share this opportunity.

Special thanks to Riverside Community Care for helping facilitate this year’s sessions.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this experience, sign up today! Applications Due: April 24th, 2026

This season, here at HRI we were honored to distribute approximately $320,000 in grocery store gift cards to support about 1,500 households across our portfolio! Each household received $100 per bedroom, helping ensure support reflected family size and need.

Thanks to our generous donors at the Cambridge Savings Bank and HRI's board and staff this was made possible. At the heart of our work are people, their stories, their needs, and their everyday lives. Access to essentials shouldn't be a stressor, especially during the holidays.

Its moments like these that remind us how impactful simple, thoughtful resources can be. We are grateful to be able to show up in ways that truly matter for our residents.
