Team Common is taking some time off to rest and recover for the holidays. In the meantime, we're sharing some of our favorite stories from WBUR's newsroom from over the year.

We're kicking the week off with the first of a two-part series from WBUR's Lisa Mullins and Lynn Jolicouer. It’s the story of one man who finds housing, after years of living in the area around Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard in Boston, also known Mass and Cass.
