Picnic In The Park

The Office of Fair Housing and Equity (FHE) is excited to be hosting a series of events we are calling "Picnics in the Park!"

April 26, 2022
Event Date2022-04-26T11:00:00 - 2022-04-26T13:00:00

We will provide a tailored fair housing training that will not only cover the history and laws protecting fair housing, but specifically discuss the rights of Boston's LGBTQIA+ community to have equitable access to housing. Afterwards, participants will take proactive steps by canvassing the local area with posters that we will display in local businesses and bulletins. Of course, light lunch will be served, because what is a picnic without some refreshments! We look forward to this informative and collaborative event.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Maggie Callaghan at maggie.callaghan@boston.gov or 617-635-2536.
