Virtual Community Meeting: Anti-Displacement Task Force Reports

After months of intensive work to identify ways to improve affordability for residents, small businesses, nonprofits, and artists in Somerville, the City’s Anti-Displacement Task Force (ADTF) is ready to share their recommendations with the community. Mayor Katjana Ballantyne and the Mayor’s Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (OSPCD) invite all to join an online community meeting presenting ADTF reports.

This meeting will begin at 7 p.m. online via Zoom and will feature a presentation by City staff outlining recommendations from the three ADTF committees. The reports will then be made available online. For those unable to attend, a meeting recording will be available on the ADTF SomerVoice web page and on the City’s YouTube and GovTV channels. For the link to the online meeting, online access to the reports, or to visit the ADTF SomerVoice web page, please visit voice.somervillema.gov/adtf.  
 

This spring, the community is also invited to celebrate the work of the Task Force, take part in a panel discussion with committee members, and view a film commissioned by the Task Force exploring the very real impacts of displacement on community members. At this event, community members will have the opportunity to hear directly from task force members as they present their recommendations. Event details will be announced via the City website, social media, and other communication channels--or sign up for the City newsletter for email updates at somervillema.gov/newsletter.
