Update · Meeting of July 22, 2026
Boston mayor announces $10 million raised in 24 hours for new Resiliency Fund as city records 42 coronavirus cases. With 218 cases confirmed statewide, the mayor outlined sweeping city actions already in effect, including the closure of all 53,000-student Boston Public Schools, a halt to all eviction proceedings, suspension of utility shutoffs, and a pause on non-essential construction. More than a dozen companies joined the city to seed the Boston Resiliency Fund, aimed at feeding children, seniors, and low-income families and providing child care for first responders and health care workers; the stated goal is $20 million.
The mayor explicitly declined to announce a shelter-in-place order but said the situation was being monitored in close coordination with the governor, and directed residents to boston.gov/coronavirus for updates.
