Who We Are

NorthShorePort.org is maintained and developed by two non-profit (501c3) organizations, the Community Software Lab and the North Shore Community Action Programs

How we started

The software was written by the Community Software Lab.

The North Shore WIB, Peabody Ministerial Association and the city of Peabody, provided valuable advice and support.

Massachusetts State Representative Mark V. Falzone's got us started with his office's paper directory. His staff and 2009 summer interns (led by Monica Crane) spent many hours calling agencies to ask them to list themselves.
