Description
Fourth Meeting of the MBR Task Force on Tenant Displacement
The Mayor's Blue Ribbon Task Force on Tenant Displacement is a partnership between Mayor Marc McGovern and Councillor Sumbul Siddiqui, who will chair the meetings, to provide policy guidance on how to prevent displacement in the Cambridge community.
The task force will be charged with investigating the root causes of displacement—answering the question of where and why forced displacement is occurring—evaluating current policies, programs and practices, and developing bold alternatives where necessary, thereby addressing the imperative need for stronger, more immediate tenant protections. Its recommendations for policy change and resource allocation will provide critical guidance to the City Council and City Manager’s Office on mitigating the effects of housing instability on our City, and realizing the future of Cambridge as affordable, inclusive and desirable for all.
