BOSTON, MA – On Wednesday, October 20, 2021, the Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance (MAHA) and the Madison Park Development Corporation hosted mayoral hopefuls Annissa Essaibi George and Michelle Wu at a virtual forum on making access to homeownership more equitable in Boston. Members of both organizations shared their stories and asked the candidates to commit to the most critical steps the new mayor can take to shrink the city's racial homeownership and wealth gaps.

Apirl 30, 2021 - Last night, MAHA held its 13th annual Taste of Dorchester and for the second consecutive year it was a lively online event. Taste of Dorchester celebrates our local restaurant community and one highlight of the event was interviews with owners Teresa Maynard of Sweet Teez Bakery and Tambo Barrow of Bred Gourmet. Staff and board members ordered takeout from Dorchester restaurants including Irie Jamaican, Bred, Blarney Stone, Family Affair, 50 Kitchen, El Barrio and more.

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.
