ALIGNMENT WITH FY21 COMMUNITY PRESERVATION PLAN
The Grace Baptist Church building is home to the SHA4CD food pantry, a bilingual day care that accepts
vouchers, and a family homeless shelter.
FUNDING CONDITIONS
1. Execution and recording of a perpetual historic preservation restriction which includes a
provision for public access. The restriction would be held by the Somerville Historic Preservation
Commission.
2. The Somerville Hispanic Association for Community Development will post a permanent sign
noting CPA funding for the restoration of the Grace Baptist Church building.
3. CPA funds will only go towards costs directly related to the repair of existing slate roof and
replacement of related flashing, gutters and repointing of brick masonry (Item A, B, and D).
MEASURES OF SUCCESS
The goals of the project are to:
1. Repair the roofing slate and associated flashing to keep water from damaging the structure and
finishes within the building
2. Repair gutters and repointing of brick masonry
Achievement of these goals will be measured through:
1. Properly installed new roof and flashing systems
2. Properly installed gutters and repointing of brick masonry
