Boston Centers for Youth & Families, the Public Facilities Department, the Mayor's Office of Housing, and Boston Public Schools are studying the feasibility of adding housing with a new community center and possibly an elementary school at the Jackson Mann School site in Allston-Brighton. The study tests a range of community center sizes based on the previously completed programming and siting study, as well as a mix of affordable and market-rate housing. 

This session is a wonderful opportunity for organizations, businesses, and community members to learn everything you need to know about hosting a public event in Boston, from permits and logistics to planning processes and available City resources.

This free event includes:
