Massone Family Owned & Operated The second state grant, $7 million from the HousingWorks Infrastructure Program, will fund extraordinary site costs, including blasting, earthwork, roads and utilities to facilitate the development of 51 aff ordable homeownership condominiums on the Overlook property. Malden has been materially underserved by homeownership programs despite being an eligible Gateway City with only fi ve income-restricted homeownership units funded in the city to date. The 51 homes are designed for working families, serving households earning up to 80% and 120% of Area Median Income (AMI) with more than half off ering two or more bedrooms. “These grants represent a signifi cant step towards the redevelopment of these parcels at Overlook Ridge,” said WinnDevelopment President Adam Stein. “We are grateful for the eff orts of the city of Malden and the Commonwealth’s support of this project so we can deliver muchneeded rental and for sale housing for households of all ages and incomes.” Overlook Ridge is a largescale, master-planned development spanning the cities of Malden and Revere and built on the site of a former rock quarry that has been transformed into a nearly 1,977unit residential community over two decades. Every unit constructed to date is market-rate rental. This next phase of construction will introduce much-needed aff ordable housing into the development, which is an opportunity for families and seniors to live in high-quality homes close to downtown Boston and proximate to key transportation links. The phase is being carried out as a joint effort between WinnDevelopment and AC Residential LLC to complete the original vision for the master-planned community to construct affordable apartment homes and condominiums. The investment is expected to generate approximately 1,400 construction jobs, 140 permanent jobs and an estimated $2.2 million in annual local tax revenue at full buildout. The project is located within an Environmental Justice area and will expand access to housing opportunities while enhancing transportation safety and accessibility for residents, pedestrians, cyclists, seniors and people with disabilities. Administered by the Massachusetts Executive Offi ce of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC), the program awards competitive grants to municipalities for a variety of infrastructure projects associated with housing development. Funds are awarded based on a project’s nexus with housing, transportation, infrastructure and community development needs. As the development arm of Boston-based WinnCompanies, WinnDevelopment creates and revitalizes high-impact mixed-income apartment properties through award-winning new construction, renovation and adaptive reuse techniques.

Each week, runners raced at 1.8mile courses in each city — concluding the season with the GBL Championship in Medford. Leading the way was Garfi eld Middle School eighth grader Gianni Noel, who consistently fi nished in the top 10 in every race. Noel recorded an outstanding personal best of 12:49. His consistency and dedication earned him the team’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award. Rumney Marsh Academy sixth grader Brianna Nascimento, a fi rst-year runner, made tremendous strides throughout the season. Nascimento got stronger with each race, finishing with an impressive personal record of 15:30. Her hard work and positive attitude earned her the team’s Heart and Hustle Award.

Page 10 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2026 Revere Public Schools Connects Families With Critical Resources During Family Engagement Night Over 60 caregivers attend presentation by The Home for Little Wanderers on housing assistance, education, family support, and community services Special to Th e Advocate R EVERE — More than 60 parents and caregivers gathered at Revere High School on Tuesday evening for Revere Public Schools’ latest Family Engagement Night, an informative session designed to connect families with essential community resources, support services, and opportunities to help them navigate everyday challenges. The event included Kristina Peralta from The Home for Little Wanderers, who introduced families to the agency’s Harbor Area Family Resource Center (FRC), a community-based program that provides free assistance, educational opportunities, advocacy, and referrals to individuals and families throughout the region. During her presentation, Peralta outlined the wide range of services available through the center, including assistance with housing challenges, educational needs, family support, parenting resources, and connections to community organizations. The discussion also highlighted resources for families navigating immigration-related concerns, opportunities to participate in English language classes, and programs designed to strengthen family relationships and promote overall well-being. The evening was part of the district’s ongoing series of Family Engagement Nights, which bring community organizations and service providers directly to RPS families to help eliminate barriers to accessing information and support. Peralta’s message in her presentation was that families don’t have to meet complicated eligibility requirements to get help from the Harbor Area Family Resource Center. The center, which has been serving the community since July 2023, is part of a statewide network of Family Resource Centers dedicated to helping individuals and families connect to services, build relationships, and resolve issues before they become more serious. Peralta emphasized that the center is for anyone regardless of income, residency, or family situation. No medical insurance or Social Security number is required to receive services, nor is a professional referral or minor children. Families also do not need to demonstrate financial hardship or reside in a particular community. Perhaps most importantly, all services off ered by the Family Resource Center are free. This is especially critical for families who may not know about available programs, have language barriers, or are too overwhelmed with the process of seeking help. Linking caregivers to organizations that off er fl exible, welcoming services is a key piece of the district’s overall family engagement work for Revere Public Schools, whose families come from diverse cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. One of the presentation’s main topics was housing instability, which can create major challenges for families and impact children’s educational experience. The Harbor Area Family Resource Center helps families in housing crises by connecting them to housing resources, providing individualized assistance, off ering information about housing-related systems, and working with other agencies, Peralta said. While the center does not provide housing directly, its staff can assist families in fi nding out about resources available to them and connecting with organizations that can help meet their needs. The presentation also covered the center’s approach to helping families identify strengths, assess needs, and
develop individualized plans for accessing support. Through family strengths and needs assessments, staff members work with individuals to identify challenges and develop practical steps to address them. Such eff orts may include assistance with basic needs, referrals to community programs, and participation in educational workshops or support groups. The center can also provide guidance and support to families with CRA concerns (children requiring assistance). The Family Resource Center is not just about immediate challenges; we also connect families to services that build long-term stability, confi dence, and independence. Another important part of the center’s program is educational opportunities. Peralta mentioned English language and technology classes, parenting education programs, support groups, special needs support, and workshops that provide families with useful information and practical skills. They also have utility- and health-related drop-in hours at the center where community members can find out about assistance for specifi c needs without having to hunt down diff erent organizations on their own. These programs are designed to help families develop skills, build relationships, and feel more confi dent in accessing community resources. The center’s services are also helpful for young adults and young parents. Programming includes workshops for youth and young parents, referrals to community support organizations, and family-oriented events to encourage participation and connection. Another important point in the presentation was the center’s focus on personalized help. The Harbor Area Family Resource Center team includes family support workers, school liaisons, family clinicians, family partners, program leadership, and administrative staff . The center also counts on interns and volunteers. These professionals work together to help families address challenges that may span multiple areas of their lives. Issues around housing, education, fi nancial stability, and family well-being are often interconnected. Peralta also said the services at the center are easy to access. Families may contact the organization directly by telephone or email, complete an online self-referral, or receive a referral from a friend, family member, or professional. Individuals can also visit the center during regular operating hours and complete an intake that same day.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2026 Page 15 Can my children get Social Security benefits when I retire? Dear Savvy Senior, I’m getting ready to start my Social Security retirement benefits and have two children at home, ages 17 and 15. I’ve heard they may also be eligible for benefi ts on my record while I’m collecting. Is that true, and if so, how does it work? How long would they receive benefits, and is there anything I need to do to apply for them? --Retiring Parent Dear Retiring, Yes! If you’re 62 or older and raising kids, Social Security can put a little extra cash in your family’s pocket. Here’s how it works. When you claim your retirement benefits, each of your children may get up to 50 percent of your primary insurance amount (PIA), which is your benefit at full retirement age. Even if you take a reduced benefit by claiming early, your children’s payments are still based on your full retirement amount, which is 67 if you were born in 1960 or later. You can apply for your children’s benefi ts at the same RevereTV Spotlight L time you fi le your own Social Security retirement claim, or separately afterward if needed, but doing it together is usually the simplest approach. To qualify, children must be unmarried and under 18. If they are 18 or 19 and still in high school, they can receive benefits until they graduate or reach age 19 years and two months, whichever comes first. If they work, the usual earnings test may apply. In 2026, Social Security reduces benefits by $1 for every $2 earned above $22,320. Special rules apply to children with disabilities. Since your youngest is 15, your spouse can also receive benefits on your record — even if she is under full retirement age. This is a “child-in-care” spousal benefit that is available when a spouse is caring for a child under 16. That benefit can be up to 50 percent of your PIA and ends when your youngest child turns 16. It can be especially helpful in houseeading up to Halloween, the Revere Department of Parks & Recreation held its Annual Fright Night at Rumney Marsh Academy. Experience the spookiness all over again by watching RevereTV’s report from the trick-or-treating event with the city and local community.

There is also a limit on how much Social Security can pay a family, called the family maximum, usually between 150 and 180 percent of your PIA. If total benefits exceed that amount, payments to family members (except yours) are reduced proportionally. For example, if your full retirement benefit is $3,000 per month, the family maximum might be around $5,289. That leaves $2,289 to divide among your children — about $1,144.50 each. If your spouse also qualifies, her benefit would further reduce the amount available to be shared, though the total family payment remains capped. Children can also receive benefits if a parent becomes disabled — usually up to 50 percent of the parent’s disability benefit — or if a parent dies, in which case they may receive up to 75 percent of the deceased Tune in to the Community Channel daily to watch them all November long!

These benefits won’t cover everything, but even modest support can make a meaningful difference for a family. Keeping benefits on track Social Security automatically stops children’s benefi ts when they age out or graduate. Knowing when payments start and stop can help you plan your budget and make the most of this support. If your children’s circumstances change — such as graduating early, getting married, or starting full-time work — be sure to notify Social Security so payments stay accurate.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2026 Page 17 RHS SPORTS ROUNDUP Patriots rally past Whittier, honor Cicatelli; soccer teams await tournament assignments By Dom Nicastro R evere High’s football team closed its regular season with a comeback victory over Whittier and an emotional tribute to longtime coach Lou Cicatelli, while the boys and girls soccer teams fi nished their regular seasons with winning records and awaited state tournament assignments. Girls volleyball also ended its season with a sweep, and girls cross country runners turned in strong individual performances at the Greater Boston League championship meet. Football rallies past Whittier, honors Cicatelli Revere High’s football team fi nished its regular season at 4-4 with a 21-14 victory over Whittier on Thursday, Oct. 30, scoring 21 unanswered second-half points before holding off a late rally. The Patriots trailed 6-0 at halftime but had already established their defensive toughness. Whittier controlled the ball for nearly nine minutes on its opening possession before Revere stopped a fourth-and-goal attempt at the 3-yard line, with Reda Atoui helping lead the charge. “Oh, that was huge,” Cicatelli said. “They got the ball in the 40, and they had the ball for literally nine minutes.” Revere seized momentum early in the third quarter when Joey Angiulo delivered a strong kickoff return into Whittier territory. Offensive coordinator Jose Escobar then made a crucial adjustment after Whittier had crowded the line of scrimmage to stop Revere’s rushing attack. Quarterback Jose Fuentes used play-action to find a wide-open Atoui over the middle for a 36-yard touchdown. The extra point gave Revere a 7-6 lead. “Coach Escobar made a great call,” Cicatelli said, explaining that the Patriots recognized the passing opportunity at halftime. Revere’s next scoring drive featured a 13-yard run by Ismael Romero-Gonzalez and a long completion from Fuentes to Anthony Pelatere. Fuentes fi nished the possession with a 3-yard touchdown sneak. A botched extra-point snap turned into an unexpected two-point conversion when Sergio Peguero found Nicolas Cespedes in the end zone, extending the lead to 15-6. “It was a fire call. It was a botched snap,” Cicatelli said. “Nico went right in the corner there, and how he caught that, I still don’t know.” Atoui later capped a 91-yard fourth-quarter drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. Whittier scored in the closing seconds, but Daniel Alzate recovered the onside kick to secure the victory. Atoui fi nished with approximately 125 rushing yards and two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving. Fuentes added about 75 passing yards and 60 rushing yards. Freshman Leveon Saint-Paul led the defense with 12 tackles in his fi rst game back from injury. Cespedes also delivered a strong performance at defensive end, recording close to 10 tackles while repeatedly shutting down Whittier’s running attack. Revere fi nished 19th in the Division 3 power rankings, three spots outside the 16team playoff fi eld. That puts them in the two-game consolation round ahead of Thanksgiving. Revere is on a two-game winning streak heading into this post-regular-season round, having beaten Lynn English, 35-28, last week. “These kids are very resilient,” Cicatelli said. “You know, they started off a little bit rough this year, and put two big wins together against two real good teams.” The Patriots now enter the consolation round, hosting Malden on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 6 p.m. Cicatelli identifi ed Malden running back Jayden Mcguffi e as a major challenge. He fi nished with over 2,000 yards RHS Patriots Varsity Football Head Coach Lou Cicatelli, shown during recent action, was honored for his career as coach following the Whittier victory last week, celebrating Cicatelli’s 23-year career as head coach with a surprise video tribute narrated by public address announcer Jerry Gerardi along with past players who made a surprise appearance to honor their former coach.

The next foe after Malden is to be determined. An emotional tribute to Coach Lou Following the Whittier victory, Revere celebrated Cicatelli’s 23-year career as head coach with a surprise video tribute narrated by public address announcer Jerry Gerardi. The presentation featured memorable moments, messages from former players and coaches, and music including Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days” and Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” “Coach Lou, for 23 years, you showed up for your players, and tonight your players showed up for you,” Gerardi told the crowd. Cicatelli then turned around to discover generations of former Patriots players, coaches, friends and family members gathered behind him. “It’s a great night, very emotional, so very well done,” Cicatelli said. He credited Keith Correia with organizing the surprise and said seeing his former players, wife and daughter made the evening especially meaningful. “When I turned around, I had no idea all those people were behind me,” Cicatelli said. Boys soccer finishes 14-1-1, awaits Division 2 tournament Revere High’s boys soccer team completed an outstanding regular season at 14-1-1, fi nishing 11th in the Division 2 power rankings and awaiting its official state tournament seed. Coach Gerardo Rodriguez’s Patriots closed with a 2-0 shutout of Chelsea on Oct. 29, extending their unbeaten streak to 15 games. Revere’s only defeat came against Central Catholic, 3-2, in its season opener. The Patriots scored 62 goals while allowing 25, producing a plus-37 goal differential. Their explosive offense included eight-goal performances against Haverhill and Methuen, along with fi ve-goal eff orts against Everett and Watertown. Revere also demonstrated its ability to win close games, defeating Chelsea, 2-1, in the teams’ fi rst meeting and Somerville, 3-2, during the fi - nal weeks of the regular season. The Patriots fi nished with six consecutive victories and will carry considerable momentum into the Division 2 tournament. Girls soccer finishes above .500 Revere High’s girls soccer team also completed a winning regular season, fi nishing 9-7-2 and awaiting its Division 3 tournament assignment. The Patriots ranked 64th among 74 Division 3 teams but remained in tournament consideration through their above- .500 record. Revere won four of its final six games, closing with a 6-1 victory over Lynn Classical on Oct. 27. That followed a 2-0 road shutout of Lowell on Oct. 23. Other late-season highlights included a 3-0 victory over Whittier and a 7-1 win against Northeast Metro Tech. The Patriots recorded several shutouts during the season and fi nished with victories in their fi nal two contests. SPORTS ROUNDUP | SEE Page 21

Her education at Nichols College has also provided opportunities to gain valuable handson experience. Through a career and internship fair on campus, she connected with representatives from the Nantucket Police Department and learned about its Community Service Offi cer (CSO) program. After applying and completing a virtual interview, she was off ered a position with the department. “The CSO program includes three patrol units: foot, bicycle, and beach patrol. I was selected for beach patrol, where my responsibilities included patrolling beaches on an ATV, promoting public safety, enforcing beach permit regulations, monitoring open-container laws, and providing first aid when necessary,” Janaisa explained. “This experience provided an invaluable opportunity to work alongside law enforcement professionals and see fi rsthand the responsibilities involved in protecting the public.” Another memorable educational experience was attending the Global Security Exchange (GSX) Conference in Atlanta. The conference introduced her to the wide range of career opportunities available in the security industry. “I participated in informational sessions, explored the trade fl oor, and connected with professionals and business leaders in the security field. The opportunity was made possible through a scholarship established by the Dunbar family. James Dunbar, a Nichols College graduate and creator of Dunbar security trucks, established the scholarship to help Nichols students attend the annual conference. Following his passing, his son continued the family’s commitment to supporting students,” Janaisa added. The experience allowed her to expand her knowledge of the security industry, develop professional connections and explore potential career opportunities. As graduation approaches, she has a clear vision for her future. She plans to pursue a career in law enforcement, although she is still deciding whether to work at the local or state level. “I want to build a career where I can make a positive diff erence, help others, and contribute to keeping communities safe,” she shared. Reflecting on her college experience, she credits Nichols College with providing opportunities for academic, professional and personal growth. “From participating in the Honors Program to gaining Revere native Janaisa Mendoza, a 2023 graduate of Revere High and current Nichols College senior. real-world experience and attending professional conferences, I feel these experiences have helped prepare me for the next chapter of my life.” A proud Revere native, former State Championship cheerleader, and dedicated criminal justice student, she is demonstrating that hard work, determination and a commitment to helping others can open doors to an exciting future.

These funds will allow us to move forward with longneeded roadway and safety improvements while creating hundreds of new homes, including aff ordable and workforce housing opportunities for residents. We are grateful to the Healey-Driscoll Administration for delivering on behalf of residents of Malden.” The Commonwealth’s investment is seen as the key to the fi nancial feasibility of the development of 617 units of housing across four development parcels, including: • 51 workforce condominiums, available to households earning between 80 and 120% of Area Median Income — the fi rst homeownership opportunity in Overlook Ridge’s 20-year history; • 99 mixed-income apartment homes for adults ages 55 and older; • 157 mixed-income apartments designed for families; and, • 310 mixed-income rental units “These grants represent a signifi cant step towards the redevelopment of these parcels at Overlook Ridge,” said WinnDevelopment President, Adam Stein. “We are grateful for the eff orts of the city of Malden and the Commonwealth’s support of this project so we can deliver much-needed rental and for sale housing for households of all ages and incomes.” Overlook Ridge is a largescale, master-planned development spanning the cities of Malden and Revere, built on the site of a former rock quarry that has been transformed into a nearly 1,977unit residential community over two decades. Every unit constructed to date is market-rate rental. This next phase of construction will introduce much needed aff ordable housing into the development, an opportunity for families and seniors to live in highquality homes close to downtown Boston and proximate to key transportation links. The phase is being carried out as a joint eff ort between WinnDevelopment and AC Residential LLC, to complete the original vision for the master-planned community to construct affordable apartment homes and condominiums. The investment is also expected to generate approximately 1,400 construction jobs, 140 permanent jobs, and an estimated $2.2 million in annual local tax revenue at full buildout. The project is located within an Environmental Justice area and will expand access to housing opportunities while enhancing transportation safety and accessibility for residents, pedestrians, cyclists, seniors, and people with disabilities. Administered by the Massachusetts Executive Offi ce of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC), the program awards competitive grant to municipalities for a variety of infrastructure projects associated with housing development. Funds are awarded based on the project’s nexus with housing, transportation, infrastructure, and community development needs.
