Our Vision
We envision a vibrant, diverse, sustainable, and inclusive Needham, where people at every stage of life and at all income levels can find a home and be part of a healthy and welcoming community.
Our Mission
Through conversation, research, education, and advocacy, we work toward common sense reforms that allow for more housing options for current and future Needham residents. We support increased funding for affordable housing, and a wider range of housing choices to meet a diverse set of needs across the community.
Our Values
- Everyone needs housing: We believe that everyone deserves a safe, decent place to live.
- Everyone is welcome: We value all forms of diversity, including generational, socioeconomic, cultural, ethnic, racial, gender, sexual orientation, and ability.
- Change starts with conversation: We are committed to respectful dialogue and to strengthening our community by listening to our neighbors and sharing information.
- Think big, act small: We recognize that housing is a regional problem, but our local actions matter. Our goals are ambitious and will require creativity, compromise, flexibility, and sustained commitment.
