While COVID-19 cases are declining, infection rates are still high in Cambridge and the state. The Cambridge Public Health Department reminds residents who have COVID-19 to notify your close contacts so that they may take precautions to help stop the spread. A close contact is anyone who has been within 6 feet of you for 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period while indoors during the two days before you got sick OR the two days before your positive test was taken if you don’t have symptoms. By telling your close contacts that they may have been in contact with COVID-19, you are helping to protect everyone.

The City of Cambridge is proposing a new Community Safety Department (CSD) that will coordinate community driven solutions to enhance safety in the community, with key services and programs targeted at our most vulnerable populations.

The City relies on property taxes and many other revenue sources—including service fees, state and federal funding, licenses and permits, and investment earnings—to help pay for the services residents depend on every day. 

City Manager Huang has provided a detailed first half 2025 overview, including background on federal challenges facing the City, Cambridge's transparent and accountable local democracy, affordable housing policy changes and investments, and Fiscal Year 2026 budget highlights. We encourage community members to learn more about the amazing work happening across the City and how we are managing many complex and difficult challenges as a community.
