MassBudget PolicyTALKS

An increasing number of Massachusetts residents are experiencing a housing affordability crisis. The ever-increasing burden of rent significantly impacts many aspects of people’s lives and communities, such as social determinants of health, access to transportation, and impact on climate change. In this PolicyTALKS, we will explore the increasing burden of rent across the Commonwealth, the social and economic impacts of unaffordable housing, and what the state can do about it.
