An Opportunity to be Heard Here in Western Massachusetts!
The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC or HLC) – the state agency that oversees individual and family shelter as well as affordable housing development and permanent supportive housing – is holding a series of listening sessions across the state to gather input for their 5-year housing plan. The first session was held in Lynn last week.
And now they’re coming to Western MA! They just announced the full list and here are the Western MA sessions pulled out below:
Western MA sessions:
- Tuesday, 4/23 from 9am-11am – Springfield Technical Community College
- Wednesday, 5/15 from 2pm-4pm – Berkshire Community College
- Thursday, 5/16 from 2pm-4pm – Greenfield Community College
They are also offering virtual sessions if travel or timing are an obstacle:
These sessions are a great chance to let HLC know what you think belongs in a housing plan that will best meet western Massachusetts’ needs.
It would be great to get a sense of our Network’s presence. If you plan to attend, please email pschwartz@westernmasshousingfirst.org to let me know. I will be attending all 3 sessions. And please be sure to click on the location link to register.
Hope to see you there!
