But like most great institutions of higher learning, Northeastern had modest origins. At the end of the nineteenth century, immigrants and first-generation Americans constituted more than half of Boston’s population. Chief among the city’s institutions committed to helping these people improve their lives was the Boston YMCA. The YMCA became a place where young men gathered to hear lectures on literature, history, music, and other subjects considered essential to intellectual growth. In response to the enthusiastic demand for these lectures, the directors of the YMCA organized the “Evening Institute for Young Men” in May 1896. Frank Palmer Speare, a well- known teacher and high-school principal with considerable experience in the public schools, was hired as the institute’s director.

    May 20, 2021 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, and Leader McCarthy: As 81 mayors representing communities across 28 states and the District of Columbia, we write to urge Congress to enact the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act (AHCIA) of 2021, S. 1136 and H.R. 2573, which would strengthen and expand the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit). The Housing Credit is our nation’s primary tool for encouraging private investment in affordable rental housing. While rental assistance is critical for keeping renters in their homes during this time of financial instability, the need for more affordable housing production and preservation in cities and towns preceded the pandemic. Since its creation in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the Housing Credit has been the primary financing source for the production and preservation of affordable rental housing. It has financed nearly 3.5 million apartments since 1986, providing affordable homes to approximately 8 million low-income households, including families, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities. The Housing Credit brings together private-sector resources and oversight by state agencies, resulting in a durable solution to the need for affordable housing. The AHCIA of 2021 includes a number of provisions that would enhance the program and enable cities like ours to better serve the affordable housing needs in our communities.

White House Says WHO's Call to Prioritize Vaccination Over Booster Shots is 'False Choice' by Morgan Artvukhina The White House dismissed suggestions by the World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday that it's more important to get basic COVID-19 vaccination to more people than to focus on delivering third booster shots to those who've already been vaccinated. According to Press Secretary Jen Psaki, the US can "do both." Earlier on Wednesday, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebrevesus advised "a moratorium on boosters until at least the end of September to enable at least 10% of the population of every country to be vaccinated," as data published bv Pfizer last week suggested a third dose of its two-shot SARS-CoV-2 vaccine could provide additional protection against "breakthrough" cases of the Delta variant of COVID-19. "We definitely feel that it's a false choice and we can do both," Psaki told reporters at the White House on Wednesday. "Also in this country [we] have enough supply to ensure that every American has access to a vaccine," she added. "We will have enough supply to ensure if the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] decides that boosters are recommended for a portion of the population to provide those as well.
