History of Leadership & Innovation
The Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP) was created in 1985 to foster civic leadership on affordable housing and break down local barriers to housing development through effective guidance, advocacy, research and technical support. Our mission is to pioneer new development and financing models that make more effective use of public resources, are responsive to local needs, promote racial equity, and achieve more impact than conventional approaches to affordable housing.
Toward that end MHP has used its hands-on experience at the local level and its expertise in data analysis and policy to propose, develop and implement a significant array of state housing programs, policies and resources.
