MassHousing
About
MassHousing, the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency, is an independent, self-sustaining public financial institution that works on the state’s housing challenges. It provides financing to low- and moderate-income homebuyers and homeowners, and to developers who build or preserve rental housing. The agency also provides financing and oversight for hundreds of rental communities across Massachusetts and points renters toward tools and guidance for finding an affordable home.
Since its start in 1966, MassHousing has provided more than 30 billion dollars for upward of 92,000 rental units and more than 90,000 home mortgage loans. Its work extends to energy efficiency through the Massachusetts Community Climate Bank, which the agency describes as the nation’s first green bank focused on the link between affordable housing and clean energy. Recent financing has included The Westcott, a 114-unit, energy-efficient development near the commuter rail station in Swampscott.
