BEing Homeless - NOT - the MSC's 20th....
One Fall night seven years ago, I buzzed from being a single college girl livin' with friends and family to a unmarried homeless (did I say brown?) mother...So you know the other night I had to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Multi-Service Center (the MSC) located on Brookline Street in Cambridge. What's the MSC - a collection of helpful services for homeless folks all under one roof! They help with budgeting, housing services, and a host of other things that help low income peoples.

Len Thomas, the director of the MSC, emceed the event and there were madd (many) city officials and ex-employee's of the agency in attendance. The highlight of the night for me was personal testimonies - MSC's first director Phillip Mangano's memories & energy was inspiring and Mr. Flanagan's story of his rise from the trenches was remarkable.

Nuff respect to the Mutli Service Center (Tyree, Taylor, Melo, J.J., Decker, Dennis & other) And thank God the City of Cambridge continues to fund the MSC - our light at the end of that gloomy tunnel!!!
Hope to see yall at the CCTV cookout tomorrow and do remember to Always Be Right!!!
