ADUs are now legal in Massachusetts! Our Executive Director Jesse Kanson-Benanav spoke with WBUR reporter Amy Sokolow about the new homes ADUs will bring to our state. #adus #massachusetts #morehomes #affordablehousing #accessorydwellingunit #buildingmorehomes

“I think there’s a lot of room in suburbs of larger lots to build homes and those have also been the communities that are traditionally the most exclusive,” said Mike Kriesberg, policy and advocacy manager AHMA 🔗to Article:bankerandtradesman.com/adus-in-demand…

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge. We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style Here’s the details 🧵

🚨After eliminating parking requirements last year, Cambridge, Massachusetts has passed one of the more ambitious rezoning efforts in America tonight allowing 6-stories citywide by an 8-1 vote. Prior to this update, the City estimated only 350 new units would be built by 2040.

Thanks to the new reforms in Cambridge MA, gorgeous 6-story apartment buildings like these are now legal to build CITY-WIDE!

What an exciting time to be a pro-housing advocate in Cambridge! Thank you Burhan Azeem, Cambridge City Councillor for your leadership and dedication towards creating housing abundance for residents in Cambridge. Read full release here: abundanthousingma.org/cambridge-ends…

"While there continues to be a need for further policy reform, MBTA Communities is our first and most substantial attempt to reform 50-plus years of failed housing policy that leaves us in the dangerous position we find ourselves in today." Jonathan Berk 🔗:abundanthousingma.org/celebratesjcvi…

“I think ADUs are a really gentle form of development,” said Jesse Kanson-Benanav in an interview. “We’re talking about small units, either in people’s backyards or a new addition to their house.” 🔗to full article here: commonwealthbeacon.org/government/beh…

Big news for housing advocates: New polling shows strong, bipartisan support for more housing across Massachusetts—even when it means changes to neighborhood character or local control. The momentum is real, and it’s growing. abundanthousingma.org/resources/2025…

“Local control is never going away. The Town Meeting form of government is never going away, but we have to balance that with the fact that the way it has played out is just not serving the needs of Massachusetts residents,” Jesse Kanson-Benanav commonwealthbeacon.org/housing/voters…

“This survey shows that the loud opposition that often show up at local planning meetings are actually a minority. Most people, when presented with practical solutions, seem ready to say yes to more housing.” MassINC Polling Abundant Housing Massachusetts bostonglobe.com/2025/05/16/bus…

“Across the Commonwealth, voters want more housing solutions that create an abundance of housing opportunities for families, renters, and longtime homeowners alike,” said Kanson-Benanav. bostonglobe.com/2025/05/16/bus…
