The Baker-Polito Administration filed a Housing Bond Bill (H.3653) seeking $1.3 billion in additional capital authorization for the production and preservation of affordable housing, and for public housing maintenance and improvement. Combined with nearly $258 million in current, uncommitted capital authorization from the 2013 Housing Bond Bill, the Administration’s bill would create more than $1.5 billion to support affordable housing. It also extends the MA LIHTC, extends the Housing Development Incentive Program at current levels, and offers several reforms regarding the redevelopment of state-aided public housing and the governing of Local Housing Authorities.
