This is the last week to register for the 13th annual Housing Institute, Wednesday and Thursday, June 5 and 6 at the Devens Common Center.
Geared towards officials, volunteers and employees in suburban and rural communities, the Housing Institute is a two-day workshop that engages participants in discussion and problem solving around the development of affordable housing.
In addition to the traditional menu of local experts, this year's Housing Institute features two special sessions that will focus on understanding local viewpoints and coming up with strategies to counter local resistance to housing.
Day 1 will feature Dr. Tiffany Manuel with Making the Case for Affordable Housing.
Day 2 will feature Boston University's Katherine Einstein, David Glick, and Maxwell Palmer with Neighborhood Defenders: Participatory Politics and America's Housing Crisis.
The last session on Day 2, The Housing Studio, is designed to take what you learned and put it to work. We would like to hear about what issues you would like to workshop so that we can divide groups up by theme. Only one survey per community is necessary. Please take the survey.
