CHAPA is bringing back our Affordable Housing 101 training this month, on May 20th from 6:30pm to 8pm, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Housing Partnership!

This training session is intended as a primer for anyone who wants to learn more about how affordable housing is produced, funded, and preserved in Massachusetts. It is free and open to the public, with a particular focus on registrants for MHP's Housing Institute on June 4th and 5th. More information on the Institute and registration is available here.

Please note: This session is not intended to help individuals find affordable housing for themselves or their families. You can find affordable rental opportunities through the Housing Navigator and affordable homeownership opportunities through My Mass Home.

Topics covered in this session include:

Definition of "Affordable Housing"
Affordable Housing Trust Funds
Inclusionary Zoning
Community Preservation Act
Low Income Housing Tax Credit
Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act
MBTA Communities Law
Transfer Fees
Community Land Trusts
Missing Middle Housing
and more!

You can register here. We look forward to seeing you!
