Description: June 3, 10, 17, 2021
Zoom Meeting
Now in its 14th year, MHP’s Housing Institute is geared toward officials, volunteers, and employees in suburban and rural communities and Gateway Cities.
This intensive training actively engages participants in discussion and problem-solving activities related to affordable housing development in Massachusetts.
This year, adapting to the pandemic, we will host the conference virtually on Zoom Meeting on three consecutive Thursday afternoons in June.
The conference will be on June 3, 10, 17 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Each day will be broken up into three sections with 15-minute breaks in between. The emerging theme is “Intent vs. Impact,” with a distinct focus for each day.
