Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC)

The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) was established in 2023 to create more homes and lower housing costs for Massachusetts residents. EOHLC also distributes funding to municipalities, oversees the state-aided public housing portfolio, and operates the state's Emergency Family Shelter (EA) program.

How EOHLC is working to make housing more affordable

A Home for Everyone: Massachusetts' Statewide Housing Plan

"A Home for Everyone" is the state's first comprehensive statewide housing plan that outlines the challenges facing Massachusetts, identifies needs on both a state and local level and sets goals for housing production and preservation. A full online site will launch in the spring of 2025.

The Affordable Homes Act

On Aug. 6, 2024, Gov. Healey signed the Affordable Homes Act, a bold initiative to increase housing production and invest in livable communities.

The MBTA Communities Law

The Healey-Driscoll Administration is working with 177 communities to improve zoning and optimize multifamily housing construction around the state's public transportation corridors.
