Melrose\, Malden\, and Medford worked with the MAPC to collaboratively develop sust ainable and resilient building design guidelines for residential and mixed -use developments and retrofits. These voluntary guidelines will help these communities encourage developers to build more more affordable housing that is energy-efficient and climate-resilient.
\nJoin us for an interactive webinar on April 26 at 12:00 p.m. to learn about the guidelines and hear from the communities about how they plan to use them to shape green\, affordabl e development.

Our research finds that low-income urban communities of color experience the highest rates of speculative investor activity. Inve stors are often able to buy properties at a discount using cash\, and they are also more likely than non-investors to flip their properties and to m ake a significantly higher profit on flipped properties than non-investors .
\n\nOur November 30 webinar will feature a presentation of this res earch and a panel discussion.
