Abstract: According to the National Low Income Housing
Coalition, Massachusetts is the least affordable
state in which to live. The burden of these high
housing costs is disproportionately felt by lowand
moderate-income residents. As the prospect
of owning a home becomes less of a reality for
many Massachusetts families and as market- ·rate
rents have soared, the need for affordable
rental housing becomes more pressing. This
paper explores what the best processes are for
developing affordable housing for low- and
moderate-income families in Massachusetts.
The identification of replicable practices
demonstrates that creative options exist for
cities and towns facing the dilemma of rising
housing costs coupled with increased budgetary
restrictions.
