The celebration was a reflection of everything that made this moment possible: community, partnership, and years of people believing in this work before the building ever had our name on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were honored to have Councilor Enrique Pepen and Councilor-at-Large Ruthzee Louijeune present a congratulatory resolution on behalf of the city council. We also had representatives from the Mayor\u2019s Office of Boston Male Advancement and the Mayor\u2019s Hyde Park liaison share remarks and present a certificate of recognition on behalf of Mayor Wu. Their presence was a reminder that what YMWAP is building on River Street matters well beyond our walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;This is a tremendous achievement.
