What Is The Community Service Agency?
The Community Service Agency (CSA) is a community -based organization whose function is to facilitate access and coordination of care for youth with serious emotional disturbance who require or are already utilizing multiple services or child serving systems (e.g. child welfare, special education, juvenile justice, mental health).
The CSA uses the Wraparound process as a way to improve the lives of children with complex needs and their families. It is not a program or a service and is open to members with a Mass Health Behavioral Health insurance component. The key characteristics of the Wraparound process are that a plan is developed by a family -centered team, is individualized based on the strengths and culture of the child and their family, and is needs -based rather than service –driven.

What Is The Systems Of Care Committee?
Community Service Agency (CSA) and the Systems of Care Meeting (SOC) covers cities and towns in the Greater Lynn area: Lynn, Lynnfield, Nahant, Saugus and Swampscott.
The Systems of Care Committee is intended to support the Community Service Agency’s efforts in their local geographic area to establish and sustain collaborative partnerships among families, parent/family organizations, traditional and non – traditional service providers, community organizations, state agencies, faith – based groups, local schools, Mass Health and its contracted Managed Care Entities (MCEs), and other community stakeholders. The local Systems of Care Committee ensures that the Care Coordination of the Community Service Agency is in sync with other service delivery systems, with state agency services, and with informal helpers and community resources.
The Systems of Care Committee meets monthly to coordinate and integrate family voice into current community resources, to identify additional supports, and work together to offer a variety of choices to families without always having to recruit agency providers. At this time, we have over 500 members in our SOC email group that is distributed via constant contact twice a month. Please email Kyra at kdrescher@jri.org if you would like to be added.

Who Can Become A Member?
Membership in the local Systems of Care Committee is open to the public and should include, but is not limited to:

Parents/Caregivers
Grandparents
Extended Family Members
Transitional Aged Youth (ages 14-20)

Rent Control Ballot Campaign Kickoff Rally
2025-09-13 11:00 - 13:00 | Frederick Douglas Park, Corner of Union and Exchange streets, Lynn, MA, United States
From Lynn United for Change: Lynn United for Change and ECCO (Essex County Community Organization) are joining together with a diverse coalition of local tenants, homeowners, community groups, congregations, and labor unions for a rally to launch the rent control ballot campaign. This is one of a series of launch events taking place across the state as part of the Keep Mass Home campaign.
Rent is too high! We’re getting pushed out of our own cities. Let’s limit rent increases to no more than 5% per year!
ECCO, Lynn United for Change, Mass Senior Action Council, Neighbor to Neighbor, 1199 SEIU, New Lynn Coalition, United Nations CDC (Lynn, MA) and more… list in formation.
About the Keep Mass Home campaign:
Whether we rent or own—no matter where we live—everyone in Massachusetts should be able to afford a place to call home. But right now, corporate real estate investors are driving up housing costs to increase their profits, making it impossible for Massachusetts residents to make ends meet.

Under current state law, there is no limit to the amount landlords can increase rents every year. Rents can double overnight.

High rents displace workers and seniors from their communities, force people to work multiple jobs just to pay the rent, and make it impossible for young families to save money to achieve the dream of owning a home.
By coming together to put rent control on the ballot, we can Keep Massachusetts Home for ALL of us.
We need basic protections against excessive rent hikes to keep people in their homes, support working families, and stabilize communities across Massachusetts. Modern rent stabilization is the immediate relief we need to protect people as we work to fully address our state’s housing crisis.

The Keep MA Home campaign to pass rent control in Massachusetts is made up of thousands of renters, homeowners, and neighbors, along with dozens of grassroots housing justice groups, labor unions, and community and faith-based organizations throughout the state.

About the rent stabilization policy we’re proposing:

Together, we can support stable homes and strong communities for everyone in Massachusetts

No matter where we live or what’s in our wallets, we all lose when our friends, families and neighbors are pushed out of the places they call home. Designed with input from residents and experts across Massachusetts, our modern rent stabilization policy would:

Limit annual rent increases in Massachusetts to the cost of living with a cap at 5%. For an apartment that costs $2,000 per month, that means an annual increase in monthly rent of no more than $100/month
The limit on rent increases will continue to apply when new renters move in, meaning rent cannot be drastically increased between tenants
Support small landlords, not big corporations, by exempting owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units
Encourage housing production and economic growth, by applying rent limits to new construction only after a building’s first 10 years

Community "Drumagic" Drum Circle
2025-09-13 13:30 - 15:30 | Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lynn, 101 Forest Ave, Swampscott, MA, 01907, United States
All are welcome to join UUCGL for some Drumagic!
It is a way to express yourself. You will leave the afternoon feeling inspired and relaxed. Our drum circle is open to hand drummers over the age of 16. Beginners (with drums) are always welcome. We jam to West African and Haitian-inspired rhythms on djembes, ashikos, dunduns, congas, dumbeks, and makeshift hand drums. Please no snare drums, kit drums, or bucket and stick drums.
If you do not own a drum or are unable to borrow one from a friend, flat-bottomed, rounded-edge water cooler jugs and flat-bottomed, rounded edge (not sharp edge) Rubbermaid-type wastebaskets work fine as makeshift drums.
Never drummed before? No Problem. We will show you the way. Come out and plan to have an afternoon of spiritual awakening, fun, and meeting wonderful people. Oh, and if you like to dance, drum rhythms are great to move to as well.
Cost: Volunteer donation of $5 to $10 suggested. We usually meet on the second Sunday of each month.
Please note: for security reasons the doors will be locked promptly at 1:35pm, so make sure to be on time!

Community Meeting | South Harbor Implementation Plan Update
2025-09-15 18:00 - 19:30 | Demakes Family YMCA, 40 Neptune Blvd., Lynn, MA, 01902, United States
From the Office of Mayor Jared Nicholson: The City of Lynn will host a community meeting on Monday, September 15 at 6:00 PM at the Demakes Family YMCA to provide updates on the South Harbor Implementation Plan (SHIP) and discuss possible next steps.
Adopted just over a year ago, the SHIP has already enjoyed significant progress, including expanded ferry service, the opening of Harbor Park, community engagement on the Lynnway’s future, and federal funding for a new public stop at River Works station. Several private development projects are also advancing, contributing to the transformation of the South Harbor neighborhood.
“We are proud of the progress we are seeing in South Harbor,” said Mayor Jared Nicholson. “But we know there’s more work ahead. As a City, we will continue to be proactive and assertive about the change we want to see in the neighborhood.”

“The SHIP helps us look at the district as a whole, and think carefully about how individual properties can best support a complete, vibrant neighborhood.”
– Planning Director Aaron Clausen

The discussion will focus on tools needed to expand the street network and unlock the potential of long-vacant lots in South Harbor — two priorities identified during the SHIP planning process.
The event is open to the public, and Spanish interpretation will be available.
