~ Boston's History of Segregation and Racial Inequity Continues to Shape Access to Safe and Affordable Housing
As Boston continues to grapple with its history of residential segregation and racial inequity, the city has taken significant steps towards addressing these barriers. From launching a community-led Assessment of Fair Housing in 2016 to Mayor Michelle Wu's recent Executive Order embedding Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) into local policy, Boston is making strides towards promoting fair housing for all.
AFFH, a federal mandate under the Fair Housing Act of 1968, requires proactive efforts to dismantle segregation and housing discrimination. Boston has become one of the first cities in the country to integrate AFFH into its zoning code and has established both a Community Advisory Committee and a Monitoring Committee to oversee its implementation.

In support of these efforts, the Council has adopted a resolution reaffirming its commitment to AFFH. The resolution calls for continued investment, oversight, and leadership in advancing fair housing across the city. It also highlights the need for anti-displacement strategies, increased access to homeownership, and stronger accountability through data-driven evaluations.
The resolution also emphasizes the importance of stable leadership and resources within the Office of Fair Housing & Equity, as well as stronger partnerships between city, state, and regional housing agencies. With these measures in place, Boston is taking significant steps towards promoting fair housing for all residents.
