WORCESTER -- Each year MHP honors individuals and communities for their hard work and unwavering commitment to supporting and furthering affordable housing. Four honorees have been selected to receive this year’s Housing Hero award.

Improving energy efficiency and reducing the carbon emissions of the 37,000+ existing multifamily buildings across the state is a crucial component in achieving more resilient communities and meeting the Commonwealth’s climate goals. In recognition of this, MHP’s Green Retrofit Financing Program now incentivizes a broader spectrum of energy use reduction projects, with the highest level of incentive – a 35 basis point interest rate reduction – for projects that reduce their energy use intensity by at least 50% or pursue an eligible deep energy reduction retrofit certification.

BOSTON --- Four gateway cities have been selected to participate in the second cohort of the state’s Complete Neighborhoods Partnership (CNP), a program that supports the creation of walkable neighborhoods across the commonwealth near downtowns, transit and jobs.

BOSTON --- MHP’s Housing Institute will be in person on Wednesday and Thursday, June 12-13, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The venue is the AC Hotel Worcester, 125 Front Street, Worcester, MA, conveniently located along the commuter rail. The hotel is a five-minute walk from Union Station. Ample parking is also available.

A forward-looking approach will maximize the impact of the MBTA Communities Law.

BOSTON --- This research brief provides a snapshot of how far along the 177 MBTA Communities are on their path to compliance with Section 3A, aimed at providing a sense of how much momentum has already been built around these much-needed zoning changes. The brief will also introduce an analytical approach to evaluating potential development opportunities in approved 3A districts, and make the case for a coordinated, forward-looking approach to MBTA Communities rather than a reactive, defensive posture in response to a relatively small group of detractors.
