Welcoming and Inclusive Neighborhoods Somerville (WINS) Public Meeting

The City’s Housing Division invites you to a public meeting to receive citizen input on the City’s Assessment of Fair Housing. The Assessment of Fair Housing, which the City is referring to as the Welcoming and Inclusive Neighborhoods Somerville (WINS) initiative, is a Department of Housing and Urban Development requirement that, the City has developed to identify and address fair housing issues and factors that contribute to inequities in Somerville. Throughout the summer the City has solicited views and recommendations from community members and interested parties through surveys, tabling at public events and holding meetings and focus groups to gather information on fair housing issues.  The input received has been incorporated into the Assessment of Fair Housing draft. The community is now invited to read and make further comments in person during a public meeting or online. The draft will be available for public comment on Friday, August 18th through Wednesday, September 20th, 2017 at www.somervillema.gov/wins
