Yes Better Boston

The @CityofBoston adopted the #CommunityPreservationAct in 2016, and it’s easy to see the fruits of their investments into affordable housing production. $1M in CPA funds helped transform a vacant police station into 40 new units of housing for residents. boston.gov/news/grand-ope…

MA legislature passed the Economic Development Bill & sent it to Gov Baker’s desk! Included in the bill was $3.5 million in funding to expand STASH across the state! We are grateful to @BrendanCrighton and @skpeake for believing in our innovative program. #firstgenfriday #mapoli

Since adopting the #CommunityPreservationAct in 2016, the @CityOfBoston has awarded over $119 million in CPA funding to support 245 projects – and you can look up the location of each of these CPA projects using this interactive CPA map: experience.arcgis.com/experience/97e…

Today we announced $40M from @BostonNeighbor @CPA_Coalition & the Neighborhood Housing Trust to create & preserve 718 income-restricted units in Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, Chinatown, Hyde Park & Roxbury. 718 families will live in affordable, green, transit-oriented homes!

Welcome to our new Steering Committee Member! Israel "Izzy" Rivera was just elected to the City Council in @CityofHolyoke and has served on the local CPC. We're looking forward to working with him on the future of the #CommunityPreservationAct

Welcome to our new Steering Committee Member! Cheryl Gosman helped the @TownofNeedham adopt the #CommunityPreservationAct in 2004 and later joined their Community Preservation Committee. Cheryl is a longtime local housing advocate and we look forward to working with her!

$5 million of #CommunityPreservationAct funding is being used by the @CityOfBoston for the ONE+Boston First-Time Homebuyer Program. The program helps income-qualified, first-time Boston homebuyers purchase a home in Boston! @mahahome @mhphousing ow.ly/MZUg50F9b8i

@TownofBrookline is now the 187th #CommunityPreservationAct Community! Approximately $2.6 million in local CPA revenue to be raised annually for outdoor recreation, historic preservation, affordable housing, and open-space projects.@MAPCMetroBoston @massmunicipal @TommyVitolo

Neighbors rally to raise dollars to restore and re-light historic Walter Baker sign in Lower Mills #Dorchester dotnews.com/2021/re-lighti…

Let’s stop leaving money on the table! Approving the CPA referendum will build a dedicated funding stream for outdoor recreation, historic preservation, affordable housing, and open space projects. These are improvements that otherwise would not be possible. @cdory28167 @cdempc

CPA has been a great way to get projects done in parts of my district. I hope we get that opportunity in Brookline too!

Passed! $25 million in CPA projects across the city. Brings the total to $92 million over 198 projects since CPA was passed by Boston voters in 2016. #bospoli

This spring, Kuehn’s Way will be dedicated in memory of Bob Kuehn, one of the early visionaries of the #CommunityPreservationAct. Four towns on Martha's Vineyard contributed over $1 million in CPA funds for this housing & land conservation project. vimeo.com/482685502

TODAY @ 4PM: a hearing to preserve our community history! A simple change could let us landmark buildings important to the history of Boston, along with those important to the state or nation. Come share your views on saving Boston’s history! More detail: mailchi.mp/councilorbok/a…

The first 20 years of the #CommunityPreservationAct resulted in 186 communities raising over $2.5 billion for open space, recreation, affordable housing, and historic preservation. Happy new year to every CPA advocate statewide - and here's to 20 more years of CPA success!

Great news: the annual #CommunityPreservationAct Trust Fund distribution was made today, and all communities received a base match of 28.6% For a full breakdown of this year's distribution, visit the Coalition website: communitypreservation.org/home/news/nove…

Do not understand why you would set a date for office reopenings without yet having an approved plan for rapid response testing at scale — ie for an outbreak at a workplace, or a congregation. Very concerned about wrong order here, @MassGovernor. #publichealth #bospoli #mapoli
