Roxbury Discussion on Health and Fair Housing

Share your ideas with City officials about Boston's fair housing assessment.

The Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) is a new planning document that the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires cities and towns like Boston that receive HUD funds to complete. The AFH will identify key priorities and goals for the City, the Boston Housing Authority (BHA) and the community to work together to support fair housing. These priorities and goals will help guide how HUD resources are invested.

Light refreshments at 5:30 p.m. The meeting will start promptly at 6 p.m.
