Executive Office of Housing & Livable Communities (EOHLC)
The Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) was established in 2023 to create more homes and lower housing costs for Massachusetts residents.
On August 6, 2024, Governor Maura Healey signed the Affordable Homes Act into law. The legislation authorizes $5.16 billion in spending over the next five years along with nearly 50 policy initiatives to counter rising housing costs caused by high demand and limited supply.
