By bringing together technical expertise and stakeholder perspectives, this commission moves the Commonwealth one step closer to unlocking new, safe, and reasonably priced housing options at a time when our housing shortage continues to drive sky high housing costs across Massachusetts.
From Mel King and Melnea Cass’s work for housing and voting rights, to Jamaica Plain advocate Julia Martin, to Celtics legend and civil rights activist Bill Russell — their legacies continue to shape Boston. ✊🏾🏠
Black History Month reminds us that the fight for housing justice has always been led by bold Black leaders.
