Making bold, historic investments in housing to create a Massachusetts where all can thrive.

Bold Action for Meaningful Change

We owe it to young people, seniors, and working people to create reasonably priced housing in the communities they love. We will increase the availability of homes by creating more housing options, particularly for first-time homebuyers, seniors struggling to keep up with housing costs and those who serve our communities, including teachers, nurses, first responders and firefighters.

Recent Actions Include:

Increasing the availability of homes by creating more, bringing down costs for all homebuyers and renters.

Making our communities more liveable and vibrant by creating multi-family housing in our downtown areas, particularly close to public transportation.

Boosting our economy by ensuring local businesses grow here rather than in states where housing for their employees is more affordable.

Creating the Commercial Conversion Initiative to accelerate housing production by transforming vacant and underutilized commercial properties into new housing.

Helping seniors stay in the communities they love by creating more housing they can afford as they downsize or retire.

Supporting our next generation of young people by creating housing that costs less and is attainable to first-time homebuyers.

Launching the first climate bank in the country dedicated to affordable housing and opened applications for low- and moderate-income homeowners to apply for loans to make low-cost energy efficient improvements to their homes.

Supporting the new housing for public servants who too often can’t afford to live in the communities they serve, including teachers, nurses, first responders and firefighters.
