Since the resurfacing of the Young School Tennis Courts back in 2015, the courts have grown even more popular than they were before. Due to regular usage, wear and tear and the weather, the courts need to be completely removed and redone. The current asphalt will be removed and a new court installed and lined and striped for 3 courts. The fencing will also need to be repaired where it can be or replaced. The DPW will be involved with this project to help when they can.

Funds to support architectural and engineering services associated with the design and permitting of additional affordable units at an existing YWCA property.

In 2016, YWCA was awarded $150,000 of CPA funds to develop the YWCA at Hillside. Since then, the project has experienced some delays. The overall planning for Hillside Center for Sustainable Living took longer than anticipated after permitting was completed. One of the major changes which resulted from the project planning phase was to adopt the Passive Housing Institute Standards of the US. Hillside decided to develop the project in compliance with these, more rigorous, standards which was not originally anticipated. These design changes contributed to the delay in construction of YWCA at Hillside. YWCA at Hillside, when completed, will be a 10 unit lodging house that is designed to meet Passive Housing Institute Standards of the US and be net zero. This led to a series of engineering issues that needed to be solved, for example, air flow, heating, cooling and de-humidification. Both the delays themselves and the technical solutions to the mechanical issues resulted in additional costs to the project. The YWCA is requesting CPA funding to help close project funding gaps.

YWCA of Greater Newburyport will increase the number of available SRO units (from 10 to 11) and complete required upgrades throughout the existing building.
