🚨 Endorsement Alert! With Election Day less than 3 weeks away, we’re proud to announce our next round of pro-housing candidate endorsements for Boston, Medford, and Worcester. 🏡 www.abundanthousingma.org/endorsements/

Boston’s zoning code is one of the most complicated in the country — and it’s holding back new homes. 🏘️ On Nov 4, you have the power to change that. Elect leaders ready to simplify our outdated rules and build the homes we need. Can you define zoning in five words or less? 👀

I’m proud to be endorsed by @abundanthousingma.org! I’m committed to making sure working families & seniors can afford to live in MA. As your Worcester D2 City Councilor, I’ll work hard to build more safe & affordable housing, secure protections for tenants, & reform exclusionary zoning policies.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Boston City Council At-Large Candidate Forum last week! It was great to hear directly from candidates on our most pressing issue in the city- Housing Affordability. 📸: Korri Leigh Photography

Abundant Housing Massachusetts is thrilled to invite you to our Celebration of Abundance! This event will honor the the great work happening across the state to make housing accessible. 🗓️ Oct 23| 5:30pm - 8:30pm 🏠 Broken Records Beer Hall - Brighton 🎟️ tinyurl.com/5a332mn7

Self bragging post: the group I started is getting an award!

81% of Boston residents surveyed agree that "City officials need to take action to address Boston’s housing shortage and allow more homes to be built throughout the city."

🏆 Introducing our Rookies of the Year: Rozzidents For More Rozzidents & Marblehead Housing Coalition! We’re proud to honor these AHMA affiliates for their bold local leadership in advancing housing abundance in their communities. (1/4) Celebrate with us! www.abundanthousingma.org/ahmas-celebr...

Boston can’t force the Fed to lower interest rates, but we should pursue an approach similar to what Cambridge has done: increase capacity across the whole city (not just small areas) and combine that with policies that protect affordable housing developments from getting targeted by stupid lawsuits

📊 New poll: Bostonians want more housing. Large majorities of both renters + homeowners support bold reforms to tackle the city’s housing shortage — and most say not enough has been done. 🏙️ www.abundanthousingma.org/2025-city-of...

We hope to see #Allston #Brighton folks at the AHMA Boston City Council At-Large Candidates Forum this Thursday! Easy ride via the 66 bus! Speak up for more housing!

This week's candidate's forum is a must see! The questionnaire responses are a great read, and its issues made recent appearances in @bostoncitycouncil.bsky.social regular mtg agendas. Live Q&A will add an additional layer of insight to those answers & Council debate so check out the details below:

Great to see @abundanthousingma.org advocating that the Mayor use some of her political capital to push for substantive action on zoning reform and other efforts to increase housing supply in Boston.

A new poll from @massincpolling.bsky.social and @abundanthousingma.org shows that Bostonians overwhelmingly: 1) reject the status quo, 2) want more homes built, and 3) think city officials should take action. Local leaders have a charge from the voters: pass pro-housing policies. Like, now.

New Boston polling our this morning, for @abundanthousingma.org www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/06/b...

🚨 BIG NEWS!! Salem, MA voted last week to eliminate minimum parking requirements for new multi-family housing! So what does this mean for Salem? 🧵 (1/4) bostonglobe.com/2025/09/29/b...

Right now, zoning laws ban most housing except big-lot McMansions or luxury remodels. No wonder we’re stuck with bidding wars and skyrocketing prices. The YIMBY Bill changes that—by legalizing starter homes, duplexes, townhomes, and small apartments across the state. #YesInMyBackYard
