Massachusetts is making significant strides towards affordable housing by releasing 450 acres of state-owned land for residential development. Governor Maura Healey announced plans for 3,500 new housing units across various locations, emphasizing a commitment to lower costs and increase accessibility. The initiative comes as part of the Affordable Homes Act, which includes a $5.16 billion allocation for housing development over five years. Healey's administration has conducted thorough reviews to identify underutilized properties suitable for these projects while ensuring environmental considerations are met, including the provision of green space.
From day one, I pledged to use every tool to build more housing and lower costs across the state. That's why I directed our team to find state properties that could be turned into housing.
These 450 acres will be turned into thousands of new homes that families, seniors and workers can actually afford.
