Functionality with a splash of color
Constitution Hill gives the initial impression of a neighborhood focused more on utility than on character. Multi-level buildings painted in neutral grey, brown and beige tones stand sentry behind chain-link fences. The architectural style seems deliberately nondescript – buildings that were designed to be built simply, quickly and inexpensively to provide no-frills housing for those who need it. However, a fastidiously restored Victorian home occasionally interrupts the pragmatic designs with a splash of bold jewel tones and embellished trim on inviting front porches. The contrast between ruthless functionality and proud ornamentation hints at Constitution Hill’s attitude: A place where people arrive often by necessity, but remain by choice. "Folks will typically move to Constitution Hill because of the affordable housing, but they end up staying for a long time because they fall in love with the community,” says Meghan Rego, the director of marketing for the community organization NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley. “It’s one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the city. You’ll hear different languages spoken here every day, and every corner store serves a different community.”

Multi-family homes and occasional renovations
Constitution Hill is a part of the town of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, a former industrial city that attracted a lot of new arrivals as part of the Great Migration in the early 1900s, when Black Americans in the South moved to Northern, Midwestern and Western states to escape Jim Crow laws and find new economic opportunities. Today, the area is a cultural melting pot that results in a vibrant community. Of the approximately 40,000 people who live in Woonsocket, around 4,000 of them live in Constitution Hill, and many live in subsidized housing provided by community organizations like NWBRV.
