REGISTER FOR THE EVENT

The City of Boston recently released A Place to Thrive, its first-ever citywide Anti-Displacement Action Plan. As part of this work, the City is piloting new ways to work with community—like this workshop—to have more meaningful conversations about displacement. In a workshop hosted and facilitated by community partners, we’ll talk about what displacement means to you, learn about existing strategies and resources to stabilize residents, small businesses, and cultural institutions, and explore how we can strengthen the City’s anti-displacement work through your input.

Learn more about the City's anti-displacement work at boston.gov/anti-displacement.
