What is the municipal role in supporting affordable housing versus the developer or the state? What are the roles and responsibilities of boards and commissions that impact housing development? How can public engagement support affordable housing development and preservation?

Explore these questions in a new three-module training developed by MHP's Community Assistance team, partly funded by Eastern Bank Foundation. Using real examples from communities across Massachusetts and experienced practitioners, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the local ecosystem that supports or hinders the development and preservation of affordable housing. This learning can facilitate more effective board/commission work and collaboration, as well as thoughtful engagement by interested residents and organizations.

March, 13, 20, 27, virtual, 12-1:30pm, registration is required but the training is free.

Please reach out to MHP with any questions about this event.
