Affordable Housing, A Comprehensive Outlook
Engage in a conversation about the current state of affordable housing in Cambridge. Share your thoughts and learn about potential solutions to address this critical issue.
Housing inequity has had a profound impact on Cambridge, creating division and isolating communities. The lack of meaningful interaction between residents of different socioeconomic backgrounds perpetuates stereotypes and hinders the development of solutions. Dialogue is the most powerful motivator for change in our Common-Home of Cambridge.
A new look at Public Comment
Too often, the loudest voices in housing policy belong to a small group of wealthy individuals, while the people most affected—immigrants, minorities, and low-income residents—are left out of the conversation. This platform exists to change that. We're here to elevate the voices that have been historically ignored, creating a space where you can share your concerns, experiences, and ideas about public and affordable housing. Your stories matter, and we’re committed to bringing them directly to city council members and policymakers to push for real, inclusive change in Cambridge.
Make Your Voice Count! We invite you to share your thoughts and opinions on the state of Cambridge housing with policymakers. Your input is essential in shaping the decisions that affect our community Please fill out the form below to ensure your voice is heard.
