January 6, 2021 - In a huge victory for MAHA and our coalition partners, the state legislature just passed a home rule petition that will allow Boston to substantially increase Linkage fees that large scale commercial developers must pay for affordable housing and job training.
Due to the unprecedented situation with the spread of COVID-19, MAHA's office remains closed until further notice but our staff is working regular hours from home. We will be moving our in-person homeownership classes online and will be communicating with all those who have signed up for a class. Please bear with us as we adapt to this rapidly evolving emergency.
Dorchester, MA – Navigating the process of buying a home in the Boston real estate market can be daunting but the Dorchester-based Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance is offering to help. Graduates from MAHA’s first time home buying classes will be able to take advantage of a unique partnership. Starting in April, the non-profit MAHA will offer dedicated real estate services to qualified homebuyers and homeowners who graduated from their classes through a unique partnership with real estate agent and Hyde Park resident Alexander Jean-Baptiste.
At MAHA, we get it. It is a hard time for first-time homebuyers in Boston and greater Boston. Home prices are high and getting higher.
But we can help. MAHA has been assisting first-time homebuyers like yourself for over 25 years. In that time, nearly 30,000 people have graduated from our homebuyer and homeowner classes. Over 20,000 people across the state have accessed an affordable mortgage program that MAHA has negotiated with area banks.
