Housing Secretary Visits Pittsfield's 'The First'
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Just five months after opening, The First has already become a community hub for individuals in need of resources or a place to decompress.
The space is filled with donated items from a room full of clothing, lockers, a classroom, couches, a television, a ping-pong table, and more.
Located at 74 First St., the resource center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
"[Visitors] come up to us daily and admit that this is a beautiful space, and we want to keep it in the community as a whole… It's a wonderful place for them to feel as part of the community," The First Program Director, John Jablonski, said.
The First was one of the stops on Housing Secretary Juana Matias' tour of supportive housing initiatives in Pittsfield. In February, she was appointed to lead the state Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities.
