8.F.25) Modernize public housing

Over the past 60 years the Commonwealth has built 50,000 units of public housing.  Of those, approximately 32,000 units serve elderly and handicapped households, 15,000 serve families, and 3,000 serve individuals with special needs.  State-assisted public housing is located not just in cities but also in most suburbs and many rural areas – altogether in 242 of Massachusetts’ 351 cities and towns.

Preserving these units is critical and less costly than full replacement.  Significant funding is necessary for repairs and modernization are to address deferred maintenance and maintain safe and decent state-owned public housing.  

25.a    MAPC and allied organizations should develop recommendations for public housing modernization funding and implementation.
