PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity has reopened the application process for a 3-bedroom, 2-

bath Habitat home at 112 B Robbins Avenue in Pittsfield, after the previously selected homebuyers became ineligible to move forward in the program.

"We are excited to offer another family the opportunity to achieve affordable homeownership," said Carolyn Valli, CBHFH CEO. "We encourage anyone who started an application but didn’t finish — or anyone newly interested — to apply now."

Habitat’s Homebuyer Services Team has no completed, qualified applications for this home despite over one hundred who have expressed interest.

"But unless families complete their applications, they cannot be considered for this opportunity," added Valli. "We have staff ready

to help families with the application process. Just call us."

Families who previously began the process are encouraged to complete their paperwork, and new applicants are welcome to start by calling the Homebuyer Services Team at 413.741.0221 to make an appointment. Inquiries can also be made to Homes@berkshirehabitat.org.

BVNA Nurses Raise Funds for Berkshire Bounty

06:38AM / Wednesday, December 24, 2025

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Massachusetts Nursing Association members of the Berkshire Visiting Nurses Association raised $650 to help with food insecurity in Berkshire County.

The nurses and health-care professionals of BVNA have given back to the community every holiday season for the last three years. The first year, they adopted a large family, raised money, bought, wrapped and delivered the gifts for the family. Last year, they sold raffle tickets and the money raised went to the charitable cause of the winner.

This year, with food insecurity as a rising issue, they chose to give to Berkshire Bounty in Great Barrington.

They sold raffle tickets for a drawing to win one of two items: A lottery ticket tree or a gift certificate tree, each worth $100. They will be giving the organization the donation this month.

Berkshire Bounty seeks to improve food security in the county through food donations from retailers and local farms; supplemental purchases of healthy foods; distribution to food sites and home deliveries; and collaborating with partners to address emergencies and improve the food system.
