Just-A-Start Corporation

Description

• Just-A-Start (JAS) was founded in 1968 as a community revitalization and youth training program focused on improving Cambridges then-struggling Wellington-Harrington neighborhood. Since then, JAS has grown into a multi-service community development corporation (CDC) offering a wide variety of housing, programs, and community resources. JASs primary service area is Cambridge, a city where economic growth has created substantial wealth, but this has exacerbated problems accessing affordable housing, which contributes to the economic insecurity of many residents. JAS hopes to counter this trend by helping low- to moderate-income individuals and families build economic resiliency to attain financial stability and upward mobility.JAS's vision is a better future for all: a secure home, a sustaining career, and engagement in the community. JAS is dedicated to building the housing and economic stability of low- to moderate-income people in Cambridge and nearby communities. Through innovative, comprehensive, and integrated programs, JAS provides and preserves affordable housing, offers education and workforce training for youth and adults, and builds community engagement. JAS believes that each individual should have an affordable, secure home. Home is our first priority because we know it is the foundation upon which everything else is built upon: education, careers, family. Renting a home, buying a home, staying in your home, improving your home JAS provides for, and supports, homes for community residents in many ways. JASs community roots are firmly planted in the education and training field, and ensure that individuals of all ages and circumstances teens and adults alike are on career pathways with the skills and knowledge to find, and sustain, fulfilling jobs. Whether in high school, out of high school, going to college, developing new skills, or exploring careers, JAS has programs and resources to enhance career options and earning power.
