Proposed Homeless Shelter at 5 Redlands Road 

​​

Redlands neighbors have formed a new alliance, and their website is: redlandsmanthorne.com

​

5 Redlands Rd. was previously a nursing home to 79 residents.

​

Zoning code prohibits this location from use as a homeless shelter and transitional housing; but a permit was granted recently, without disclosure. 

​

Abutters have hired an attorney to appeal the issuance of the permit, but they lack many answers. 

​

Neighbors are concerned about this insular process, its safety and security. 

​

The site plans to place an estimated 130 residents, 42 homeless families, and is being called a “community changer.” 

​

UPDATE as of 10/31:

 

The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) denied the appeal filed on behalf of Stephen Marsh.

 

On 10/31, the legal team is in court pursuing action related to the ZBA’s decision regarding 5 Redlands.

 

Specifically, a motion has been filed seeking an injunction to prevent use of the property until the matter has been fully reviewed by the court.​

UPDATE as of 11/11:
