Dear Fenway Community Members, given the events in Atlanta, GA, the rise in violence against the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, and the history of systemic racism in the US and globally, we wanted to check in and ensure our community has space to grieve these horrendous acts. Fenway CDC is committed to the ongoing fight for social and racial justice. We encourage you all to stand up and speak out against racism by Interrupting, Questioning, Educating, and Echoing; to support local AAPI businesses in Boston and Massachusetts; and to educate yourself on the histories of the AAPI community in Boston and the US.

Fenway CDC thanks Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) /Beth Israel Lahey Health for supporting our work.
Fenway CDC will be the lead organization in a new partnership with Boston Tenant Coalition, Homes for Families, Mass Law Reform Institute and the Greater Bowdoin Geneva Neighborhood Association. We will organize and campaign together at the City and State level to move legislation, budget items, and policies that will increase funding for affordable housing, rental subsidies, further fair housing, and improve tenant rights. Our vital work will help address the homelessness crisis in the Commonwealth. BIDMC selected our coalition as one of 17 local organizations to receive funding for impactful initiatives in the areas of housing affordability, jobs and financial security, and behavioral health. This is BIDMC’s first major investment through its Community-based Health Initiative.
