PRIORITIES

EDUCATE
Advocate
Protect

The Massachusetts Real Estate Community Alliance strives to understand all the far-reaching problems created by this highly competitive housing market and find creative, evidence-backed solutions to address them.

"The Massachusetts economy is driven by businesses who want to hire its highly educated population. The high cost of housing is driving them away and preventing our state from maximizing its potential."

"My generation faces significant challenges in owning a home including historic home prices, student loan debt, and drastic increases in healthcare costs. We need all the help we can get to access the stability, equity, and civic engagement homeownership entails."

"Buying a home has been one of the most important decisions I have ever made for me and my family. We need to do more to assure that everyone can achieve homeownership, with affordable options for first-time buyers to seniors who want to downsize in their communities."

"Massachusetts has some of the best rental assistance programs in the country, but also some of the most expensive housing. We need to create more housing supply and bolster first-time homebuyer programs so everyone can access the benefits of homeownership."

"Massachusetts has some of the highest development costs in the country driven by burdensome regulations and local option controls. Many municipalities have essentially “zoned out” housing to protect the status quo, preventing desperately needed development as well as diversity and inclusivity in our communities."

"It’s easy to look at record high home prices and think the market is booming for real estate licensees. In many ways it’s never been harder. Record low inventory and high prices make it harder to break into the field and create significant challenges for clients struggling to achieve their goals."

THE KEY TO MAKING AN IMPACT

Educate

An important goal for the Massachusetts Real Estate Community Alliance is to educate residents and industry professionals about state and local laws and policies that affect them directly. By better understanding the issues that cause and continue to fuel the housing crisis, we hope to create new solutions and new housing development to change the status quo. As a nonpartisan, non-profit organization, we do not answer to any specific entity that will limit our ability to push for the American dream and to bring it within reach for more residents.

ADVOCATE

Massachusetts is facing a housing crisis driven by supply and demand because our municipalities have, for decades, worked against housing development. The severe lack of housing production has dramatically inflated the cost of housing and prevented many from accessing the stability, investment, and community-building homeownership offers. We are committed to finding solutions to address these complex problems. We will mobilize and advocate, where and when it’s needed, to reach our goals.

PROTECT

We are committed to studying the housing crisis and crafting practical policy solutions to create and protect the affordable and inclusive communities of tomorrow. The Massachusetts Real Estate Community Alliance will fund cutting-edge research and work with industry leaders and a grassroots network of advocates to be a pivotal resource for key decision-makers and Massachusetts residents alike.
