Next meeting of the TBZ Housing Affordability Action Team!
Affordable Housing 202: Everything (well, let’s say some things) You Wanted to Know About Affordable Housing and Were Afraid to Ask
December 9, 2021 7:30-8:30 PM (via Zoom — Register
HERE)
Please! Join us for the second meeting of our TBZ Housing Affordability Action Team. We are joining a rapidly growing movement in Brookline and nearby municipalities (including Boston, Newton, Cambridge, Somerville, and others) for more housing affordability.
We’ll be hearing from our own Jonathan Klein, an affordable housing expert, who will cover:
-
What does affordable really mean in dollars and cents?
-
Who gets to live in affordable housing?
-
Why are there so many different types of affordable housing, and how do they work?
-
What the heck is 40B, and why does it matter?
-
Anatomy of a brand-new affordable housing development in our neighborhood (guess which one?)
-
AND — anything else you want to ask.
And finally, we will talk about action items. This is why you’re here, isn’t it? Learn what you can do to help bring more housing affordability to the communities we live, work, and daven in.
