Changes at "Investment Working Group: Housing"

DSNI is holding down a 2-session People's Budget Housing Working Group to make proposals that will go into Boston's People's Budget-- a democratic, people-led version of the City Budget.  The Housing Working Group will be a group of 10 or so residents, with support from the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative, that will meet twice in February to draft proposals on how the city budget should support affordable housing.

Boston’s People’s Budget is a community-led process in which residents put forward a proposal for the entire city budget that invests in the health, safety, wellness and economic stability of BIPOC, working class communities and divests from harm, policing and extraction. It came out of the 2021 win of having a portion of the City's budget be decided upon by democratic process, rather than just by the City Council and Mayor.

This is a chance to advocate for investment into our shared vision of an affordable, equitable Boston!
