ABOUT US
Today in Massachusetts there is an urgent and growing need for affordable and middle-income housing. This housing is a critical ingredient of any thriving economy; not only creating jobs and tax revenue for cities and towns, but lowering the cost of living and helping local businesses to grow organically by adding jobs here. The shortage of affordable, workforce housing will only grow in importance as Massachusetts begins the long post-Coronavirus rebuilding of our economy. It is imperative that we have state and local policies that encourage the construction of more affordable housing for our workforce.
Housing Forward-MA is focused on developing and disseminating accurate data related to housing and real estate development in Massachusetts and the broader economic impacts of housing supply and demand. By providing training, education, and model policy proposals this organization will support pro-growth organizing and advocacy efforts across the state.
