Today marks a new chapter for the Dorchester community as Mayor Michelle Wu announced the appointment of Madison Foley as the neighborhood's new liaison. Foley steps into a pivotal role within the Office of Neighborhood Services, a vital conduit for bridging the gap between Dorchester residents and the City's abundant services and resources. The Office's mission, marked by a direct line to local government, hinges on ensuring swift City department response to constituent needs, such as service requests and emergency assistance for residents in crises like fire displacement.

Given Dorchester's status as the largest neighborhood in Boston, it's no surprise that the task of connecting with the community is shouldered by not one, but two neighborhood liaisons. Alongside Anthony Nguyen, who caters to areas like Uphams Corner and Four Corners, Foley will now be the go-to source for residents in locales including Dorchester Bay and Savin Hill, a testament to the commitment to serving the neighborhood's diverse needs.

In a statement obtained by the official City of Boston portal, Mayor Wu lauded Foley's deep-rooted connection to the place she will now serve, noting her background in Adams Village and her engagement with youth sports. “Dorchester is the biggest and one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the city of Boston. Madison’s roots in Adams Village and in youth sports will make her a great asset to the Office of Neighborhood Services, as she and Anthony Nguyen work to connect Dorchester’s residents to city services,” said Mayor Michelle Wu.

Madison Foley, whose role is crucial in streamlining the flow of assistance and services from the city to the residents, has now heard the call to duty voiced by the expansive and variegated Dorchester community. With a dedication to the welfare of her neighbors, and equipped with a thorough understanding of the tapestry that weaves the community together, Foley's appointment is not just a change in personnel but a reiteration of the City's commitment to inclusivity and attentive public service.
