Please join REBA’s Affordable Housing Section for a webinar at 12 noon on Monday, May 13th. Our guest will be Eric Shupin, Chief of Policy in the Office of Edward M. Augustus, Jr., Secretary of Housing & Livable Communities with the EOHLC, and formerly the Director of Public Policy with the Citizens’ Housing & Planning Association (CHAPA). The discussion will be moderated by Section Co-chair Kimberly Martin-Epstein, a partner at Hackett Feinberg PC.
Last October, Governor Healey unveiled the Affordable Homes Act, which was presented as the centerpiece of a strategy to “build more homes and build them faster.” The law will expand upon and increase existing funding sources, as well as create new support for public and workforce housing, housing for seniors and disabled persons, affordable housing trusts, sustainable/green housing initiatives, municipal infrastructure, neighborhood stabilization, and incentives for housing-positive municipal planning. The law will authorize Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) by right in any single-family zoning district, while promoting the development of a statewide housing plan. The proposed legislation includes many other legislative changes to streamline the development of housing.
Join us for a discussion of the nuts-and-bolts of this law and the policy considerations behind it.
This webcast, open to all REBA members, is from 12 to 1 pm on Monday, May 13, 2024.
To register, RSVP to Matt Zarrella at zarrella@reba.net.
