Across Massachusetts, communities are grappling with a growing housing crisis as demand continues to outpace supply and the state faces a deficit of more than 250,000 homes. Expanding access to affordable housing will require more than one-off investments, it will demand sustained collaboration, new partnerships, and solutions rooted in the realities of local communities.

Join NationSwell and the MassMutual Foundation for a conversation with leaders from across philanthropy, business, and the housing sector on place-based approaches to expanding housing access in Massachusetts. Together, we’ll explore how cross-sector partnerships, community-informed solutions, and long-term investment strategies can strengthen housing stability and support more connected, resilient communities across the Commonwealth.

To encourage open and candid discussion, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations. This ensures a trusted space for thoughtful dialogue and deeper insights.
