COVID-19-related unemployment could cause a massive housing crisis in Massachusetts. 468,000 Massachusetts residents filed unemployment claims in the first three weeks of the COVID crisis.
Who has been laid off? How many are now at risk of eviction or foreclosure? Will CARES Act assistance help? What about those who don’t qualify for federal aid? Join MAPC staff for a virtual discussion of our research brief, “The COVID-19 Layoff Housing Gap.”
On April 21, MAPC is releasing an update to “The COVID-19 Layoff Housing Gap” with the latest unemployment data.
At this webinar on April 22, MAPC Data Services Director Tim Reardon and Socioeconomic Analyst II Sarah Philbrick will discuss the updated data–and what it means for workers, municipalities, and the Commonwealth.
MAPC’s Zoning Atlas, a data product years in the making, makes zoning information for all 101 of the region’s cities and towns available to the public. We invite you to join us to learn more about how to explore, use, and provide feedback on the data, and to hear more about why transparent municipal zoning information is a critical resource for the future of Greater Boston
Housing policy can’t be one-size-fits-all: needs can vary wildly, even block to block. Classifying submarkets – areas with similar housing characteristics, wherever they are – can help.
We launch our new housing submarket website and research with an online event February 23.
Join us for speakers, submarket-specific policy ideas, and a chance to explore what our interactive website reveals about our region
Speakers will include:
– Beyazmin Jimenez, Vice President, Abundant Housing MA
– Jonathan Burch, Principal Planner, CMAP
– David Williams, Policy Outreach Director, Opportunity Insights
– Tim Reardon, Director of Data Services, MAPC
We’ll hear from experts on retrofitting suburbia, get a first look at MAPC’s interactive report and website, and discuss opportunities for you to transform suburban space to meet new needs.
