An Act to establish an office of fair housing and a fair housing trust fund

This bill creates a new Office of Fair Housing within the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing to coordinate state efforts against housing discrimination and segregation. The office will be led by a director appointed by the Secretary of Housing and will work with various other state agencies to address barriers related to transportation, healthcare, education, and employment. It also establishes a Fair Housing Trust Fund to support initiatives that promote inclusive communities and eliminate housing disparities. Additionally, the office is required to evaluate existing programs and publish an annual report on progress toward fair housing goals.
