Housing for people, not just for profit!
Massachusetts state legislature, Governor Healey, Mayor Nicholson
We need to get more housing built in Massachusetts. But we can't depend on for-profit developers who build expensive luxury housing that excludes most renters. We demand affordable and inclusive development, built at safe worksites by workers paid a living wage.

• We need big investments in truly affordable social housing.
• We need public land and resources to be used for projects that create homes working class and lower-income people can afford.
• We need creation of more high quality public housing.
• And we need protections like rent control and TOPA (tenant opportunity to purchase).
This kind of development, together with policies to prevent displacement, can win broad public support for the construction our state needs.
