Assabet Regional Housing Consortium

The Assabet Regional Housing Consortium (ARHC) is a collaboration among member communities Berlin, Bolton, Boxborough, Devens, Harvard, Hudson, Lancaster, Littleton, and Stow.

 

Metro West Community Development serves the member towns by assisting with the municipal function of affordable housing, including proactive monitoring, resident assistance, program administration, project development, technical assistance, and regional activities. The regional approach affords each community access to quality housing services at a lower cost than they could obtain on their own.

Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School 

Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School is the flagship of a school district that provides the tools and opportunities for career and academic success to thousands of learners each year. In addition to high school enrollment, which averages above 1000, postgraduates participate in adult day and evening programs, and students of all ages benefit from the evening programs offered by Assabet After Dark.

The Assabet Valley community straddles the unofficial socioeconomic border of Eastern and Central Massachusetts, also known as the Route 495 corridor. The towns of Berlin, Hudson, Maynard, Northborough, Southborough, and Westborough join the city of Marlborough in comprising the school district. Neighboring communities send students to Assabet on a tuition basis.

Nashoba Associated Boards of Health

Nashoba Associated Boards of Health (NABH) was established in 1931 under a grant from the Commonwealth Fund of New York, and the guidance of the Harvard University of Public Health. The agency provides public health services to member communities in North Central Massachusetts, in partnership with each community's locally-elected Board of Health. The original fourteen towns banded together to provide the needed services they could not afford to independently offer. The towns have grown and developed over the last 90 years, however, they remain essentially rural, isolated, and/or financially unable to support the unique public health needs presented.

 

Sixteen North Central Massachusetts communities currently are members of the Association. Member towns include Ashburnham, Ashby, Ayer, Berlin, Bolton, Boxborough, Dunstable, Groton, Harvard, Lancaster, Littleton, Lunenburg, Pepperell, Shirley, Stow, Townsend, and the community of Devens.

Worcester District Registry of Deeds

The Worcester District Registry of Deeds, established in April 1731, is the principal office for real property records for 55 cities and towns including the Town of Berlin. The Registry receives and records over a hundred thousand documents each year, and is a basic resource for attorneys, title examiners, mortgage lenders, municipalities, homeowners, and others with a need for secure, accurate, and accessible land record information.

 

The Registry provides a permanent public record of the title to a property. In doing so, it places the public legally on notice as to that title and thereby provides protection for the rights of ownership. The Registry is also a resource for historical and genealogical research.
