Make 1/3 of New Housing Truly Affordable
On Monday, August 19th over 1,000 Boston residents signed postcards to Mayor Walsh asking to MAKE THE IDP MATCH COMMUNITY NEEDS. A broad coalition is demanding that the Inclusionary Development Policy be changed so that 1/3 of new housing is Truly Affordable, at 30-70% AMI for rental units (40% AMI on average) and 50-100% for ownership units.
Over 100 Dorchester residents joined Dot Not for Sale, New England United for Justice, Boston Tenant Union, Asian American Resource Workshop, Action for Equity, and others both to listen to BPDA Housing Policy Manager Tim Davis and to tell the city our point of view. Residents were clear—Boston needs affordable housing!
