“People need the ability to grow their assets,” said @HellerRachel, of Citizens Housing and Planning Association, who pinned segregation and disinvestment in Black and Latino communities as the driving factor in widening the wealth gap. https://t.co/fw1kw2h5tn

.@GlobeAbraham @BostonGlobe column on poor families who are ineligible for emergency #housing is yet another example of #Massachusetts housing crisis. This is why every community needs to do its part to build #affordablehousing, incl/ multifamily housing. https://t.co/2npByKWS8L

The income limits for those seeking emergency housing in our right to shelter state are ludicrously low, leaving desperate families like Tami Mitchell’s stranded.

Congratulations to Milton on its historic vote last night for new zoning to meet the MBTA Communities Law. We need smart solutions to spur housing production and reduce housing costs. Housing and Livable Communities looks forward to reviewing these plans. https://t.co/zbNzuijM8I

The rezoning vote represents the most significant zoning change in this community in nearly 100 years.

Boston is infamous for its high housing costs. Since 2022, as estimated by Zillow’s Observed Rent Index, Boston’s rents have continued to surge, almost catching up to Los Angeles’ typical rents. Learn more in our 2023 Greater Boston Housing Report Card https://t.co/SdMMfHXaqd

The 2023 Greater Boston Housing Report Card highlights the high cost of area housing. https://t.co/EgOzp97Tuk Mortgage rates have remained high, fewer homes are on the market for sale, and sale prices have increased — pushing would-be homebuyers out of the market.

Funding is desperately needed to provide shelter to families who are out of options. I am proud to live in a state that provides shelter & is committed to affordable housing. I urge the Legislature to get this done. And, I urge every community to say yes to housing.

“zoning is the long-term foundation of every other housing policy choice.” For too long, zoning has been used to say no. As communities put multifamily zoning in place, zoning becomes a way to say yes to a bright, & inclusive future. https://t.co/qttDsDJVYU via @BostonGlobe

As intended, the new MBTA Communities Act is forcing Greater Boston municipalities to allow more housing growth.
