Abundant Housing MA

The New York Times Editorial Board just made the case for something we’ve been saying for years: if we want more affordable homes, we need to make it legal to build them.
Massachusetts has an opportunity to do exactly that.

The Legalize Starter Homes ballot initiative would make it easier to build homes on smaller lots, helping create more housing options for first-time homebuyers, families, and older adults looking to downsize.

The challenge? We need 12,500 more signatures by June 12 to get this measure on the November ballot.

That’s why we’re organizing a statewide Weekend of Action on June 6 & 7 to collect signatures and bring this campaign across the finish line.

🏠 More homes.
🏠 More housing choices.
🏠 More opportunities to stay in the communities we love.
