Workforce Housing

MassHousing has invested more than $100 million in its Workforce Housing fund, which supports the creation of multifamily housing that aims to address affordability for households with moderate incomes.

Program Highlights

  • Supports housing with rents affordable to individuals and families with incomes below 120% of Area Median Income (AMI)
  • Provides up to $100,000 of subsidy per workforce housing unit
  • Leverages strategic opportunities to use state-owned land
  • Complements, does not replace, traditional MassHousing debt financing
  • Ensures workforce housing units are deed restricted as affordable

Eligible Projects

  • Preference for new units; existing projects where unrestricted units become restricted or preservation of affordability is at risk will be considered
  • 20% of units must be affordable for households earning at or below 80% of AMI

Terms may change and additional restrictions apply.
