The Small Town Housing Workgroup provides opportunities for municipal leaders and local housing advocates to learn together, network, develop strategies, and share updates about housing-related work in the region. Staff support for this group is funded by the Massachusetts Community Health and Healthy Aging Funds as part of the Improving Housing to Improve Health Project.
