Our statement after the legislature’s failure to include the Local Option Real Estate Transfer fee in the Affordable Homes Act. We are profoundly disappointed that this common sense tool was not included to allow cities and towns that wanted it to tackle the housing crisis.

Tonight we’re testifying @ Boston City Hall, urging councilors to uphold their budget amendments that fund crucial things like #AffordableHousing, #YouthJobs & other priorities of underserved communities.
Override the mayor’s veto & move funds to real needs. #bospoli
