One Commonwealth @1Commonwealth

$18.6 million in tax credits are going to communities to help move forward long-planned housing developments. We need housing fast to tackle the housing crisis. 🏠 Fall River: $1.5M 🏠 Lawrence: $2.5M 🏠 Lowell: $3.2M 🏠 Pittsfield: $4M 🏠 Taunton: $3.8M 🏠 Worcester: $3.6M

When it comes to a home project, getting started is usually the hardest part. Now - if you’re considering building an ADU, the state has created a list of feasibility providers who will be able to assist in your project for $500 or less - some providers will even do it for free!

The largest residential & mixed-use redevelopment project currently proposed in the state is underway, with plans to build 6.5K new housing units spanning Weymouth, Rockland & Abington - bringing in $24M in annual tax revenue to the South Shore. bostonglobe.com/2026/07/08/bus…

Great news in Worcester, where the planning board has approved a creative housing solution that recognizes the need for housing that supports all types of families. Fighting the housing crisis means building homes that work for everyone in the state. masslive.com/centralmass/20…

Last year, there were almost 35,000 homes built across the Commonwealth. Every home added is another step to addressing the immense housing needs in the state, creating more affordable housing and meeting our 10-year goal of 222,000 new units by 2035!

The cost of housing is too high for too many people in MA. That’s why we are working with housing champions, as well as state & local leaders like Governor Healey, who are working to provide immediate relief for families & lower housing costs across MA. youtu.be/kRpUnxmHDHc?si…

The City of Quincy is transforming an empty office lot into 55+ housing, increasing housing supply and allowing residents to downsize while staying in the city. A creative solution that benefits all!

Building housing the right way means building an infrastructure to support residents. We look forward to continued investments supporting housing developments!

Western Mass is in dire need of housing, and this Chicopee development is being financed by a $37.3 million loan from MassHousing and nearly $1 million in HOME funding. Investing in housing is investing in the future of Massachusetts. masslive.com/westernmass/20…

ADU’s are becoming increasingly popular around the state and providing homeowners the flexibility to build an additional living space. Let’s keep chipping away at the housing crisis from every angle. boston25news.com/news/local/mas…

Modular construction may be the future here in Massachusetts and part of the equation for solving the housing crisis. Taunton will be gaining 390 apartments by next fall, with some residents able to move in as soon as a year. bizjournals.com/boston/news/20…

The Cape Cod Chronicle Editorial Board echoed that “a major attitude change is needed” to support housing goals. Lack of housing options hurts every sector of daily life – it’s time to act! capecodchronicle.com/articles/4575/…

The Mass Wins Act supports our significant housing production needs in Massachusetts and meets this critical economic moment to double down on our strengths in the global marketplace

The development of 20 Malcolm X Boulevard is the first transaction to blend state and city investment equity through the Momentum Fund partnership, helping to chip away at the state's goal of 222,000 new homes by 2035.

For the first time, every county in the state has at least one designated Housing Choice Community. This initiative supports communities that are creating housing & advancing local planning and zoning practices to make it easier to build the homes Massachusetts residents need.

Juana Matias is just the leader to carry forward a bold housing policy for Massachusetts – congrats to her and to Secretary Augustus for amazing progress in expanding housing opportunities throughout our Commonwealth.
