This week, MAPC and the City of Salem launched "Homes for Salem," a video series on housing in Salem. We talked to Salem residents and workers about the rising costs of housing, the housing market, the struggles many residents face to find affordable housing, and strategies the city could take to meet housing need.
While this video series focuses on Salem, stories of residents struggling to find affordable housing are common throughout our region. Many cities and towns are facing similar struggles to Salem and contemplating similar solutions.
(MAPC produced this video series in-house! Click here to learn more about MAPC's housing work.)
