An Act promoting geographic equity in state-funded housing development
This bill requires Massachusetts state agencies to track and report on geographic equity in housing funding from 2025-2029. It mandates that the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities monitor how state funds for housing development are distributed across all municipalities and counties, including data on housing units, affordability types, accessibility, and funding sources. Reports must detail per capita housing production, unit mixes, and financial assistance amounts, with interim and final reports due in 2028 and 2035. The law directly affects state agencies administering housing funds and local communities receiving housing development assistance. All reports will be made publicly available, excluding unit-level data for projects with fewer than three housing units.
