Policy & Advocacy
We develop and advocate for strategies to combat displacement, promote healthy housing, and increase affordable housing stock. Our research and policy recommendations help attract and retain jobs, promote reliable transportation options, and support development of real estate that local businesses can afford.
Opportunity Zones
We are working with Massachusetts communities containing designated opportunity zones, to build their capacity to drive community-driven strategies for inclusive growth and attract investment.
Energy Policy
LISC Boston has actively participated in the state’s Energy Efficiency Advisory Council (EEAC) over the past three years. Through our collaborative policy advocacy work with state housing finance agencies, process reforms have been achieved with the goal of making it easier for owners to incorporate energy efficiency measures at the time of rehab/recapitalization.
