How can we fix Boston’s housing crisis?
On Tuesday, February 27, we explored this question at our latest Conversation in Civic Innovation with Venture Café Foundation (#CivicTechBos).
We kicked off the night with brief lightning talks, given by our scheduled panelists:
- Marcy Ostberg, Director, Mayor’s Housing Innovation Lab, City of Boston
- Jen Corcoran, Corcoran Jennison, One Charlestown
- Anda French, Principal of French 2D
- Karina Milchman, Chief Housing Planner, Metropolitan Area Planning Council
Our presenters showcased civic solutions from within both the public and private sector, detailing the very real issues Boston residents are facing in the housing market.
We’d like to send a special shout out to Marcy Ostberg, who showed up for her presentation despite being sick. That’s what we call commitment.
Under the moderation of Bianca Sigh Ward, ACLU, we then began a panel discussion to explore how we can address the issues each woman presented.
