HOT Topics Luncheon Ballot Question #2: Repeal of the State's Affordable Housing Law

The League of Women Voters of Massachusetts opposes Question #2 on the November 2010 ballot that seeks to repeal the State law encouraging and regulating the production of affordable housing.

Support of affordable housing is a long-standing State and National position. Clare Gordon, LWVMA Housing Specialist, writes: "In 1969 the League helped pass the original affordable housing legislation. Many local Leagues have supported plans to broaden the supply of housing in their communities….We need housing for all our citizens, including working families, municipal employees, young people starting out on their own, and the elderly on fixed incomes."
