In 2024, BRJE partnered with the MassINC Polling Group to conduct the first survey of its kind in Brookline examining how housing costs, zoning, and racial equity shape who is able to live and remain here. The findings highlight broad public support for affordable housing and reveal the deep inequities experienced by many residents.

Watch the panel with Deborah Brown (Brookline CDC Board President), J. Malcolm Cawthorne (PSB METCO Director), and Chris Chanyasulkit (Past President, American Public Health Association), discussing findings from BRJE’s MassINC survey and its impacts on Brookline.
