Public Policy Update June 2025

The Legislature’s Joint Committee on Housing held two by-invitation informational hearings last month. Our Director of Public Policy, Nathanael Shea, and our board’s Policy Chair, Jay Coburn of Community Development Partnership, delivered testimony on behalf of MACDC. You can find our full testimony here (which was submitted as written testimony after the hearing). You’re able to watch archived streams of the two hearings here (this is the one we testified at) and here (this is the follow-up hearing). In addition to MACDC, there was fantastic testimony delivered by many of our affordable housing allies, including CHAPA, MAPC, MA Law Reform Institute, Homes for All, Abundant Housing MA, and many others.
