Ask Northeastern to be a good neighbor!
Ways to take action
1) Sign the petition
The issue: Northeastern’s enrollment has surged in recent years, and its on-campus student housing has not kept up, intensifying the housing pressures on surrounding neighborhoods.
The opportunity: The City of Boston is reviewing Northeastern’s 10-year plan for development, which is an opportunity for community members to weigh in.
Our ask: Northeastern should significantly increase its on-campus student housing, contribute to a Neighborhood Stabilization Fund, and develop a meaningful PILOT agreement.
