Since its founding, MHP has provided financing or technical assistance in nearly every city and town across the Commonwealth.

MHP's Center for Housing Data built award-winning online tools that are helping cities and towns plan for housing growth, envision more inclusive communities, and comply with the MBTA Communities zoning law. MHP is a highly valued thought partner for housing policy and advocacy work at the local, state, and national level. Every action MHP takes — whether it's a loan, grant, professional assistance, or development of a state or local policy — has the underlying goal of expanding housing opportunities for Massachusetts residents.
