Application to apply for a One Day Amendment to an Existing Annual License.

New housing construction is happening across much of Cambridge. In 2025, the City Council passed a change to the zoning ordinance that allows more housing to be built, including in neighborhoods that were zoned to restrict new housing before. The goal of this change was to address the housing shortage that has led to higher housing costs in Cambridge and the surrounding area.

Starting this week, the Cambridge Community Safety Department’s CARE (Community Assistance Response and Engagement) Team began responding to needle pickup calls in public spaces across Cambridge. Needle pickup calls are the first call types that the CARE Team is being dispatched to.
