HUD’s “Site & Neighborhood Standards” rules prevent us siting new Faircloth units at P3, because of the demographics of that census tract. But we have an active program to build all 3000 Faircloth units across the city! PH subsidy alone is not enough for new construction, so takes multiple sources.

“It's really exciting for us because we feel like it could be the tip of an iceberg of converting many thousands of units," said @kenziebok.bsky.social , administrator of the Boston Housing Authority.

Federal judge blocks Trump administration from ending temporary legal status for Haitians - The Boston Globe A judge paused the termination of temporary protected status for Haitians while a lawsuit challenging it proceeds.

🙏🇭🇹🙌
Great news for our whole community, which is blessed by all that Haitian Bostonians contribute to our city. Praying that the wisdom, mercy, and righteousness of this ruling will be sustained.

STATEMENT ON ICE SHOOTING OF ALEX PRETTI After another gruesome act of fatal violence by federal agents on the streets of Minneapolis, all Americans must demand that the Trump Administration end its deadly, unlawful, and unconstitutional occupation of the Twin Cities. The ongoing invasion of our cities by a dangerous and out-of-control federal administration must be stopped. This week, the City of Boston led 44 cities around the country in supporting the federal lawsuit to end the illegal ICE surge in Minnesota. Our hearts are with Alex Pretti's loved ones and the people of Minnesota and we share their grief. While we mourn once again a tragic and needless death, we urge the court to take immediate action to stop the violence, end the occupation, and help local leaders in the Twin Cities restore peace to these communities under siege. MAYOR MICHELLE WU

The ongoing invasion of our cities by a dangerous and out-of-control federal administration must be stopped.

Today we celebrated the final ribbon cutting of The Amp at Flat 9 Whittier in Roxbury, marking the completion of a multi-year vision rooted in community, culture, and opportunity. 🎶🏡

So grateful to @mayorwu.boston.gov’s toy drive for focusing on our @bhaboston.bsky.social kids! Happy holidays and thank you to all the toy donors (the Boston Building Trades, AFSCME 93, Fidelity, Amazon, Ace Ticket) and all our city partners!

Today, @mayorwu.boston.gov announced that the City has converted the Hillcrest in Roslindale into permanently affordable housing through the Acquisition Opportunity Program and the Boston Acquisition Fund. Additionally, First Citizens Bank announced a new $1 million contribution to the Fund!

Text: Boston Mayor's Office Statement on Property Value Certification We thank the MA Department of Revenue for their diligent work at this time of year to certify property valuations for all the municipalities across the Commonwealth. Now that the valuations for Boston’s 180,000+ parcels have been confirmed, we can say with certainty that unless the state legislature takes action on Boston’s residential tax relief home-rule petition, the average single family homeowner’s tax bill will go up by another 13% next year, with many households having even higher increases than the average. This will mean that under state law, Boston residents will have seen their taxes go up by 34% since 2023, with eight straight years of increases over 5%. This is unacceptable and deeply destabilizing for our residents and for the businesses they run, work in, and shop at. We urge swift passage of this legislation before tax bills go out in January. Followed by the Mayor Michelle Wu wordmark

Why do I love living in Boston? Yo-Yo Ma playing the Bach cello suites before bringing Mayor Wu out to duet for an encore, that’s why.

Why I Am Resigning A federal judge explains his reasoning for leaving the bench.

Grateful for these words from Judge Wolf.

Matthew 25:41-46 New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” 44 Then they also will answer, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?” 45 Then he will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.” 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.’

Not much the Bible says more clearly than “Feed My Sheep.”
