Issue Position: Housing Development

Issue Position

East Boston has evolved from a neighborhood blighted by vacant lots and disinvestment to one of the fastest growing real estate markets around. With this transformation, there is also a change in the fabric and character of our community. During my time as Vice President of the board for the Neighborhood of Affordable Housing (NOAH), I played an active role in ensuring that we have balanced and responsible development so all East Boston residents who wish to stay in our community have the ability to do so.

As your State Representative, I will continue to push for affordable housing, workforce housing and family housing to ensure that we maintain the fabric of our community that makes East Boston so special. I will advocate for an increase in first time homebuyer classes and benefits, which allowed me to become a proud East Boston homeowner last year. I will also work with the city to ensure that our infrastructure needs are met as our community continues to grow.
