The Research Bureau will host a forum on Wednesday, May 4 from 7:30 a.m. to noon to discuss housing opportunities in the gateway cities. The event will take place at the DCU Center. 

During the symposium, attendees will listen to a series of panelists to explore the role of affordable housing in creating economic opportunity, innovations in market-rate housing development, and the impact of the housing policies and programs in gateway cities. 

Chrystal Kornegay, Undersecretary of the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development, will serve as keynote for the event.

The Numbers 

Approximately 1.8 million people, or 27% of Massachusetts residents, live in the 26 Gateway Cities designated by the Commonwealth. 

The Gateway Cities serve as gateways to the nation and to the economy, hosting 37% of the state's foreign-born residents, 44% of the state's population living in poverty, 47% of the state's population without a high school credential and 51% of the state's linguistically isolated residents.
