The Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC) has moved to a new Boston location in Grove Hall, thanks to their ongoing partnership with Casa Myrna, Boston’s largest provider of domestic violence awareness efforts and shelter and supportive services to survivors. 

“Together, our organizations are committed to ensuring that survivors of sexual violence in the local Boston community have access to the support they need,” says BARCC’s interim executive director, Duane de Four. “We’re grateful for Casa Myrna’s hospitality and look forward to providing all of our clients with more comprehensive support.”

While BARCC’s main headquarters will remain at 99 Bishop Allen Drive in Cambridge, this new location at 451 Blue Hill Ave. will help BARCC progress toward its strategic goal of building stronger relationships within communities of color. BARCC and Casa Myrna have had a collaborative relationship for over 15 years and currently are named partners in a Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Survivors’ Safety Trust fund collaborative project. 

The building at the new location is named in honor of Rubina Ann Guscott, a beloved Boston community leader and civil rights activist who died at the age of 102 in 2002 after a lifetime of fighting for justice and equality.
