The law stays. Thank you for voting no and protecting housing access for our neighbors.

We stand together against efforts to repeal the Massachusetts Affordable Housing Law, a critical means of expanding affordable housing opportunities for thousands of people who need it.
Housing is a basic human need. The Massachusetts Affordable Housing Law, also known as Chapter 40B, has created affordable homes for tens of thousands of Massachusetts residents. Seniors, working families, veterans, and people with disabilities are just a few examples of people who need more affordable options to own or rent a home. Without this law, fewer people will be able to attain an affordable home to serve as a foundation for human dignity, health and well-being.
Social justice and the dignity of all persons are fundamental values for communities of faith and they call us to speak out: All people should have the opportunity to live in affordable, safe housing. We stand in solidarity to protect the Massachusetts Affordable Housing Law and invite members of all faiths to join us and Vote ‘No’ against repealing this critical law on Question Two in November.

The momentum is incredible. Faith communities are sending a clear message that housing is a moral imperative.

Everyone deserves a roof over their head. Repealing this would be a huge mistake for our communities.
VOTE NO ON 2! We need more homes for teachers and firefighters not just luxury condos for people who dont even live here full time.
Housing prices in this state are absolutely insane. How are people supposed to live here if they dont make six figures? Keep 40B.
Stop the greed. Rent is way too high already.
My brother is a vet and this law helped him find a place he could actually afford. Dont take that away from him and others.

My parents are seniors on a fixed income and this is the only way they can stay in their own home. Please protect this law.
