Easthampton, ma – This is the second part of a story about a new community in Easthampton, Massachusetts. It's called Treehouse and the idea is to provide permanent homes and a supportive community for foster and adoptive children and their families. It is a multi-generational community with homes for families and retired people, who can become like surrogate grandparents to the neighborhood kids. The first families will be moving in to Treehouse in the coming days. WAMC's Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Dan Bobkoff has the story of the community's founder, Judy Cockerton.
