Because every person deserves access to safe and affordable housing.

Meg will advocate for:

Combatting Rising Rents & Home Prices

Passing legislation to empower local jurisdictions to pass rent stabilization laws, just cause eviction and limitations on condo conversions
Removing the statewide prohibition on rent control
Providing tenant and foreclosure protections
Providing low-income tenants facing eviction with a right to an attorney
Giving cities and towns in housing distress the power to stabilize rents
Giving a tax credit to small residential property owners who maintain their rents at or below market rent

Preserving & Increasing the Supply of Affordable Housing

Funding affordable housing trust funds by enabling cities and towns to assess a small fee on large residential and commercial real estate transactions that will go into those funds
Making housing authorities reflect their buildings by creating a process for appointing tenant members to the authority boards
Codifying and making consistent improvements to the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP), by permanently raising the fair market rent to current standards for rental vouchers
Expanding multi-family zoning areas, so more mixed-use projects can be built with affordable units
