The Cambridge Housing Justice Coalition (CHJC) is proud to host a critical community discussion on the meaning and centrality of affordability in addressing the housing crisis in Cambridge. This important event will take place on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. at the Central Square Library (45 Pearl Street) and on Zoom. Doors open at 7:10 p.m. This event is in collaboration with The Black Response, Our Revolution Cambridge, The Cambridge Public Library, the YWCA, and the Cambridge Residence Alliance. 

As Cambridge continues to grapple with skyrocketing rents and displacement, this discussion will offer community members a platform to engage in meaningful dialogue about what true affordability means and how it affects the most vulnerable members of our community. The event will feature an informative presentation on the definitions of affordability and shifting demographics of Cambridge, as well as powerful testimonies from rent-burdened Cantabrigians from diverse backgrounds. Their stories will shed light on the struggles faced by individuals and families striving to remain in Cambridge amid escalating housing costs.

The Cambridge Housing Justice Coalition invites all community members, housing advocates, and local leaders to attend and take part in this important conversation. Together, we can work towards a Cambridge where everyone has access to safe, stable, and truly affordable housing. We hope to see you there.  Please share with friends and neighbors.
