A new project to promote resilience and support those dealing with trauma will be coming to affordable housing in Wareham after receipt of a $2.5 million grant to the non-profit Preservation of Affordable Housing, which owns and manages the Brandy Hill Apartments.
The staff at Brandy Hill Apartments will be working to promote the wellbeing of employees and residents through the Trauma-Resilient Communities project, which could include landscaping, different lighting, and new programs for residents.
“Essentially, the project is about taking the trauma-informed care model that works really well in school settings and healthcare settings and bringing that into a residential model,” said Julianna Stuart, the vice-president of community impact for the nonprofit. Stuart supports the staff at the organization’s properties across 11 states and Washington, D.C., although she said that Brandy Hill is one of her favorite properties.
