Join us virtually on Thursday, May 30th from 6-7:30 pm for the first of three community meetings on updating the zoning for Central Square!

The next Community Meeting for MAPS will focus on the area South of Porter Square, and include opportunities for public participation around the issues facing this area.

Just A Start Corporation (JAS), a local non-profit affordable housing provider, purchased 1826 and 1840 Massachusetts Avenue, two surface parking lots, from Lesley University in late November 2024. Located in the Neighborhood Nine neighborhood, the site is in close proximity to the many amenities of Porter Square including restaurants, retail and the MBTA station. JAS is planning to create new affordable housing at the sites under the provisions of the Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO).

JAS is holding a community meeting on June 30, 2026 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Lesley University Hall Room 3-094 (1815 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge) to provide updates to the community on their plan to develop affordable housing at 1826 & 1840 Massachusetts Avenue in Porter Square.
