I know this isn't Woonsocket specific....but we still need so much more. A new building opened in EG within the past year, affordable, mixed w/ income particulars. Soria. I learned today that their waiting list is 63 people long. 😧 Rough guess of at least 3 years.

Coming from @steveahlquist.bsky.social, this is a humblng endorsement. No one in journalism does more than Steve to bring sunshine into local and state politics. If you like knowing someone is watching the powerful, support Steve. He is RI's Universal Witness.
