Mass Housing

MassHousing was created by an act of the Massachusetts Legislature in 1966 as an independent public authority charged with increasing affordable rental and for-sale housing in Massachusetts. Since making our first loan in 1970, the Agency has provided more than $13 billion in financing for the construction and preservation of affordable rental housing, and for affordable loan products for homebuyers and homeowners.

The Agency is recognized as one of the premier housing finance agencies in the country, and has won numerous national awards for creativity and innovation in affordable housing. In addition, MassHousing's expert management, professional operations and consistent financial performance have earned the Agency high marks among the credit rating agencies Standard & Poor's and Moody's.
