Not only is this Massachusetts' first statewide housing plan

...it's also the first all-digital statewide plan. It's designed to be explored, not read from start to finish. You can begin by finding a topic of interest in the Needs Assessment, then follow links to learn about state and local actions that can help address the issue. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to follow links to other supporting research, resources, and local data.  Here are some key tips for using the site: 

  • Use the navigation bar (or menu on some devices) to access different sections and subsections of the plan.  
  • Looking for a specific topic? Use the search bar at the top. Results are limited to this site only.
  • If you see a word or name with dashed blue underline, hover over for a definition.  
  • On the needs assessment pages, use the table of contents on the right side to move around the page.  
  • To learn more about the plan and the process, or if you really need a printable version of the plan content, select one of the cards below.   
  • Are we missing something? Provide feedback using the form at the bottom of any page.
