Abundant Housing Massachusetts was founded in 2021 to grow and lead the pro-housing movement in Massachusetts. We are a membership-based organization of more than 300 individual members and 15 affiliate groups that believes Massachusetts is for everyone. Our mission is to create a Massachusetts with abundant and affordable housing options for residents at all income levels. Although we are a statewide organization, we are invested in the future of Boston as the residential, economic, and cultural center of Massachusetts. Our largest base of supporters lives in Boston, and we are dedicated to working with them and you to create a sustainable and resilient city where no one is priced out, and everyone can afford to rent or own a home.
This document includes… • How Boston’s housing shortage makes our city more expensive • Policy solutions for creating the homes we need so Boston can be a home to anyone. We provide this information to you in a spirit of partnership, with the hope that we can be a resource to you as you begin your term and work with your fellow council members to develop a strategy for creating the homes we need in Boston.
