WATCH is about you! Our work is underscored and strengthened by community organizing and community building. WATCH seeks to connect, convene and empower a wide range of community members in order to accomplish social and economic justice goals. WATCH seeks to create a community in which all residents, including low and middle income people, immigrants and others who are traditionally disadvantaged or removed from existing power structures, have a voice and can influence decisions, such that social decisions benefit the whole community and not just a few. WATCH is unique in our area. WATCH is the only organization in our immediate metro west Boston area that conducts community organizing: developing leaders and mobilizing the community to win specific changes. WATCH is the only organization in Waltham that develops affordable housing. To build on prior efforts to develop affordable housing in neighboring communities, we are now part of a unique collaborative entity focused on affordable housing development in Waltham, Watertown, Belmong and Lexington.
