Tell your officials you support the plan
Find your city and state officials, then send them a short note backing more homes on streets worth loving in Allston-Brighton. It takes about two minutes.
Find your officials
Your address tells us your City Council district and your state representative and senator.
Choose your districts by hand (if the lookup doesn’t work)
Not sure? Check the Legislature’s lookup and the City Council directory.
Choose who to write to
Your own officials are checked. Officials give the most weight to people who live in their districts.

Governor Healey Web form
The Governor’s office takes messages through a form on mass.gov. Copy this message, open the form and paste it in. Choose “Housing” as the topic if the form asks.
Make it count
- Call too. A two-minute call to a district office (“I’m a constituent and I support the Housing Abundance Overlay”) is logged like a letter.
- Show up. When the Allston-Brighton Community Plan or a hearing on the overlay opens for comment, we’ll tell the list where and when.
- Pass it on. One neighbor who writes in doubles your voice.
