Mayor Wu’s Housing Strategy is a blueprint that will shape Boston’s housing story. It reflects the work being done by the Wu Administration, including the Mayor’s Office of Housing, the Boston Housing Authority, and the Boston Planning & Development Agency to develop systematic approaches to address our housing challenges so that all residents have access to safe, healthy, and affordable housing.

The Boston Housing Strategy 2025 lays out big new housing policies and programs being pursued in the short term and those already being implemented to make Boston a family-friendly city that works for kids, seniors, workers, and everyone who wants to make it home. It provides tools to stabilize the housing market through new mixed-income and affordable housing development, reduce racial disparities through homeownership and development opportunities for BIPOC-led organizations, and move forward Boston’s Green New Deal through transit-oriented development and green retrofits of existing housing. Explore the Strategy in this storymap to learn more about key housing priorities, how we’ll advance them, and the housing production and other numeric goals we’ll use to assess progress.
