Boston Homeowners – Your Input Matters!

The Housing Innovation Lab & Northeastern students are studying homesharing—where homeowners rent out a room.

Take the survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

#BostonHousing #Homesharing
A digital flyer from the Mayor’s Housing Innovation Lab invites homeowners to participate in a homesharing survey. The flyer asks, "Ever Thought About Renting Out a Room?" and explains that the initiative aims to explore affordable housing opportunities. A QR code labeled "Scan Me!" is centered on the flyer for easy access to the survey. The flyer encourages homeowners to share their thoughts and help shape the future of housing in Boston. The Mayor’s Housing Innovation Lab logo appears in the top right corner, and an illustration of a keyring with keys is placed above the main text. The design features a clean, navy and white color scheme.

@mayorwu.boston.gov You have to explain why I pay property taxes.
AgeStrong, EnvironmentalHealth, BostonHousing, etc. only help renters. I'm a senior with disability who pays property taxes on my condo unit. Turns out I'm not eligible for assistance from any city of the Boston programs I pay for.
