On Saturday, June 6, Abundant Housing Massachusetts Boston Organizer Elvira Mora tabled at Boston Pride with advocates from our affiliate groups A Better Cambridge (ABC) and the Youth Affordable Housing Coalition (YAHC).

300+ hours. 8 staff members. Hundreds of advocates. One mission: more homes for Massachusetts. Lobby Day took months of organizing to bring constituents face-to-face with lawmakers. Help us keep building a stronger pro-housing movement. Donate today. abundanthousingma.org/donate/?onet...

Would you rather have more homes or more parking lots? Outdated parking minimums require housing projects to build parking whether it's needed or not—raising costs and limiting homes. 📅 June 4: Boston City Council hearing on parking minimums. tinyurl.com/y62dv3e6

The NYT Editorial Board agrees: legalizing homes on smaller lots can help tackle the housing shortage. Now Massachusetts has a chance to act. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/o...

“The plaque says Fort Seawall built in 1644, ‘the structure has been modified to accommodate the town’s changing needs...’ Maybe history does have lessons for us after all.” - Marblehead’s David Modica rallying over 100 housing advocates ahead of @abundanthousingma.org Lobby Day

Glad to be part of @abundanthousingma.org lobby day yesterday. Driscoll offers support for YIMBY legislation commonwealthbeacon.org/housing/dris...

This week I met with constituents from @abundanthousingma.org. We discussed the need for more homes near public transit with no minimum parking requirements, plus a single-stair study commission because our outdated building code makes mid-rise housing unnecessarily expensive to build.

Marblehead (where I grew up) deserves the attention it’s getting from this extremely cool dude but it is unfortunately not alone in “meeting” 3A requirements in a way where no housing will actually be built. If you’re in MA, channel this moment’s energy into changing the law. #Chowder #Nomar
