The Advisory Committee will make recommendations to the Mayor and the Mayor’s Office of Housing on strategies to stabilize Boston rents and protect tenants from displacement. 

Members of the public are invited to attend an upcoming listening session to share their thoughts and comments in response to the following questions:

• How should rent increases be capped?
• What types of properties should be exempt from rent stabilization?
• How should a rent stabilization policy be implemented and enforced?
• What other policies are needed to protect tenants from displacement?

Listening Sessions will be focused on specific stakeholder groups, but all are invited to attend.

American Legion should be more comfortable for walking, waiting for the bus, crossing the street, and riding bikes with your family. We can make design changes in the coming year to improve safety for everyone.

Have questions or comments? Schedule a 15-minute phone call or video chat to talk to the project team.
