Join the Arlington Affordable Housing Trust Fund and the Department of Planning and Community Development for two virtual forums this fall.
Thursday, October 17, 2024 @ 6:00 p.m.
Strategies for Creating More Affordable Housing
In this forum, we’ll discuss how much affordable housing is available in Arlington, how much more is needed, the challenges we must address to create more, and strategies for doing so. This will include a discussion of the Trust Fund’s 5-Year Action Plan, early feedback from its Acquisition, Creation & Conversion Program, and ideas from other Massachusetts communities.
Thursday, November 7, 2024 @ 6:00 p.m.
Exploring on Affordable Housing Overlay for Arlington
Arlington has a scarcity of undeveloped land and substantial zoning barriers to creating affordable housing developments that most commonly attract state and federal affordable housing funds. We’ll hear from a citizen working group developing a proposal to ease these barriers with an affordable housing zoning overlay, and discuss this option with affordable housing experts, local leaders and residents.

| Mount Auburn Hospital is conducting a Community Health Survey!
Access the Survey Here.
This Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) will identify and prioritize local health and social needs. The CHNA will guide Mount Auburn Hospital and Beth Israel Lahey Heath’s community health strategy for the next three years.
The link above will take you to a community survey that is translated into 11 languages including Arabic, Armenian, Cape Verdean Creole, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Khmer, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese.
They are especially looking to hear from people who have been negatively impacted by economics, or the state of housing, health care or other needs.
Share your voice and take the survey by November 1 for a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card! |
