Please notify us of any corrections, changes, or updates by emailing [email protected]. Your feedback is helpful and appreciated. • 2 • For People Who Don’t Speak English: Medical interpreter services are offered by the Cambridge Health Alliance for patients at its hospitals and neighborhood health centers (see page 38). The following agencies also offer interpretation and a range of other services: • Portuguese: Massachusetts Alliance of Portuguese Speakers (617-864-7600); website at http://www.maps-inc.org. • Haitian Kreyòl: Cambridge Haitian Services (617-349-6351) • Amharic and other Ethiopian/Eritrean languages: Adbar Ethiopian Women’s Alliance (617-234-8981) and Ethiopian Community Mutual Assistance Association (617-492-4232) Some agencies offer telephonic interpretation to eligible clients who need it. How to Use This Directory Accessing Services Unless otherwise noted, services listed here do not require referrals from a case manager or other provider, and can be accessed by homeless persons directly. If a referral is required, shelter or transitional program residents should first request a referral from staff of that program; if you sleep outside or you can’t get a staff referral, contact one of the outreach programs listed on page 16 (“Street Outreach, Non-Residence-Based Case Management, and Assistance Accessing Mainstream Resources”) for help. Some listings specify whether programs serve only Cambridge (or Somerville) residents; note that persons staying in shelters or transitional programs or living on the street in Cambridge are deemed to be residents. Organization The main content of this directory is organized by type of service (see Table of Contents on page 1). However, the index on page 59 can also help you locate services that focus on a specific population/need. • 3 • Disability Access Listings which include a symbol are known to be wheelchair accessible. However, these listings may not be accessible for all needs or disabilities. Additionally, some programs that this directory does not list as wheelchair accessibility may have various accessibility features. For the most accurate and specific information about a service’s level and type of accessibility, please contact the provider directly. For general information about the accessibility of municipal or City-funded services, or to request a copy of this directory in an alternative format to accommodate a visual disability, please contact the Cambridge Commission for Persons with Disabilities, located at 51 Inman Street, 2nd floor; telephone number 617-349-4692 (voice) or 617-492-0235 (TTY/TDD). Addresses and Directions If no city is indicated in a listing’s address, that means the location is in Cambridge. Addresses that are not in Cambridge list the city in bold (for example, Somerville or Boston). Note: Make sure to check what city a location is in, before going! Many of the same street names are shared between Cambridge, Boston, Somerville, and other neighboring communities. For example, there is an Albany Street in Cambridge and an Albany Street in Boston, and important services for homeless people are located at each. Entries in the directory with an address also display the closest transit connections. T (train) stops and bus routes listed are typically within a one-third mile walk of the location. Locations (particularly in Boston) may be served by more transit than is listed; those listed here are particularly oriented towards stations and bus routes served by the Red and Green lines, the two subway lines with service in Cambridge. For more information on access to transportation and getting around, see page 51.

Knight Foundation New Business Models for News Project Update Presented at Aspen Institute FOCAS August 16-19, 2009 Introduction by Stephen B. Shepard Dean, City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism _______________ We’re delighted to be presenting our work at the Aspen Institute, and I’d like to thank Walter Isaacson and Charlie Firestone for hosting us. We’re also very grateful to the Knight Foundation for their financial support, encouragement, and friendship since we started the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism four years ago. So thank you to Alberto Ibarguren, Eric Newton, and Gary Kebbel. We set out to do something daunting: create new business models for news. You will see a brief overview of the results thus far. We have a lot more detail, which we hope you will dive into over the next three days. We hope to inform the discussion about the future of news with business specifics – experience, facts, figures, research, and analysis. We hope to demonstrate that there is a sustainable future for news. We’re presenting one set of possibilities. Clearly, there are many others. We believe it vital to build and experiment with these new models and share widely our experience and best practices. Our work is all being done in the open at our site, newsinnovation.com. We hope to draw out the ideas of many of you here at Aspen and we invite you to visit our site in the weeks and months ahead to review and contribute to our work.
