Converting Municipal Property into Affordable Housing

What is happening? Boston will use $60 million in federal pandemic relief money to make 150 municipal properties available for affordable housing. In 2023, 70 RFPs will be available for developers. The properties that will be flipped into affordable housing were acquired by tax foreclosures, “urban renewal” initiatives and highway projects.

Why is this important? Boston is addressing the severe shortage of homes to buy and rent.
