Learn about housing policies that can increase housing affordability and access, protect renter rights, and ensure landlords keep up with maintenance and pest removal — and how you can get involved in advocacy, and the work Abundant Housing MA is doing to ensure abundant housing for all.
And learn about the work TransitMatters is doing to ensure the MBTA gets fixed, and everyone in Boston has frequent, reliable, and equitable transit options.

About The Queer Neighborhood Council
LGBTQIA+ people deserve civic & community spaces where we can safely exist as our whole selves.
Showing up in front of neighbors & strangers in community and official public meetings can be uncomfortable, and it can be hard to fully engage.
That’s the problem TQNC set out to solve.
We focus on four pillars chosen by community feedback:
1) Policy Roundtables — Opportunities to engage directly with elected officials and policy experts
2) Housing Policy Advocacy Group — Based on consistent feedback from TQNC Community Connection attendees & member surveys, housing is the most urgent advocacy area in dire need of action
3) Community Arts — Providing opportunities to support and engage with local Boston-area queer artists and art venues
4) Socials — To build community and bring people from our other three pillars together, we host monthly gatherings in queer-forward spaces
