Boston Mayor Michelle Wu Introduces the Anti-Displacement Action Plan
Idea Category: Communtiy development, Housing, Supporting Small Businesses
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu introduced an Anti-Displacement Action Plan focused on protecting residents and small businesses impacted by new development. The program calls for providing relocation payments for displaced tenants, legal representation for families facing eviction, and tax relief for landlords offering affordable housing, and incentives for new small businesses. Wu aims to strike a balance between encouraging city growth and density development with protecting families and businesses impacted by the change. “We recognize that no document, program, person, or even the best intentions of an entire administration can fully redress past harms,” Wu wrote in the document, recognizing the distrust many longtime activists have for the city’s planning agency and its role in urban growth. “But by publicly sharing our intentions and swiftly following through on our commitments, we will act with the urgency we know our constituents feel,” she continued.
