Our Approach to Equity We acknowledge and recognize that we do not all start from the same place. Equity focuses on systemic, systems-level change that works to adjust imbalances and repair historical harms. Together we can improve lives, strengthen communities and build a better—and more equal—Boston. Who We Are Geeta Aiyer, Bob Rivers to be honored at inaugural gala for Asian Community Fund Aiyer, President and Founder of Boston Common Asset Management, and Rivers, Executive Chair and Chair of the Board of Directors at Eastern Bank, will be recognized as Equity Leaders at the event, which will celebrate ACF's growth and grantmaking on October 3.

This complex, challenging and critical goal requires tackling the individual-, systems- and root-level causes of inequity. Here's where we are digging in. What We Do You by our side. Equity at the center. The systemic and structural inequities at the core of our region’s disparities cannot be dismantled without extraordinary perseverance and collaboration among visionary and courageous partners, donors and leaders. Together we can improve lives and strengthen communities. Our Work with Donors Upcoming Events Visit our Events page for even more upcoming opportunities.   Vitas mori.

Boston Indicators contracted with JCHS and Utile to produce a new report, Legalizing Mid-Rise Single-Stair Housing in Massachusetts, which we are excited to discuss at this upcoming report release event. The report takes a close look at the building code requirement that residential buildings between three and six stories must include two staircases. By exploring the potential for allowing single- staircase designs, particularly in smaller, urban parcels, this report examines how we could unlock new possibilities for more affordable, space-efficient housing.
