Learn a little about who we are

Our Mission

At the Mystic Tenant Association (MTA), our mission is to empower and uplift the residents of the Mystic View and Mystic River developments within the Somerville Housing Authority. As a volunteer-led organization, we work to build a stronger, more connected community by advocating for tenant rights, organizing inclusive programs, and creating spaces where neighbors can support one another.

What We Offer

  • Tenant Advocacy: We listen, organize, and speak up for the needs of our community—fighting for safe, affordable housing and a voice for all residents.

  • Community Events: From cookouts to cultural celebrations, we bring neighbors together to build relationships and celebrate our diverse community.

  • Youth & Family Programs: We support young people through sports teams, educational workshops, and enrichment activities that promote leadership, teamwork, and confidence.

  • Resource Connection: We help connect residents to local services, job opportunities, and emergency support through trusted partnerships and advocacy when available.

Together, we are building a community where everyone feels seen, supported, and proud to call home.
