Gov. Healey laid the groundwork for a comprehensive housing policy during her campaign. On Friday, she made the topic one of the first she's tackled in office, announcing a working group to develop a cabinet-level housing office for her administration.
Vanessa Calderon-Rosado served on the governor’s housing transition team. She's the head of Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción, a nonprofit in Boston's South End with 667 affordable housing units in its portfolio.
Calderon and other housing advocates are calling for a roadmap to increase the state's housing supply to meet demand across all income levels. “This new housing secretary will be charged with bringing those plans together to create one roadmap with ideas, suggestions, strategies, ways that we can partner with both private sector builders, public sector builders and local jurisdictions to create the housing we need,” she said.
Overall, Driscoll said the administration’s goal is to solve the state’s housing woes. But it’s going to take a long time — and a lot of money — to get there. Housing advocates across the state are placing high hopes on the administration’s willingness to tackle the housing crisis. Doug Quattrochi is the head of MassLandlords, a trade association, and has several legislative items he hopes Healey and Driscoll will advocate for — and quickly.
