Additional information

The Cambridge Office of the Housing Liaison was established in 2019 and is part of the City Manager’s Department. Staff in the Housing Liaison’s Office assist residents to access and navigate affordable housing opportunities, and to obtain eviction prevention, tenant displacement, and other housing related resources and services. The Liaison’s Office also serves as a point of contact for complex housing situations that effect tenants such as building sales, displacement from fires, and other multi household concerns.

The Office of Housing Liaison also partners with city departments including the Community Development Department (CDD) and the Department of Human Service Programs (DHSP), as well as with many affordable housing agencies, and local providers to address the affordable housing crisis in our community by implementing programs and policies that improve access and availability of housing opportunities.
