"Cape Cod Affordable Housing Quagmire"

"Cape Cod Affordable Housing Quagmire"

As Cape Cod communities struggle with skyrocketing housing costs and a dwindling middle class, it's time to get creative and bold in our approach to affordable housing.

Let's offer developers tax breaks for building affordable units, and fast-track permits for innovative projects like tiny home villages and community land trusts.

Let's also repurpose underutilized buildings, like old motels and churches, into vibrant affordable housing communities.

And let's double down on funding for proven programs like the Massachusetts Affordable Housing Trust Fund.

We can't just talk about the problem. Let's take action and make affordable housing a reality for working families, seniors, and young professionals alike.
