The Housing Affordability Unit was created in 2024 to advance the state's fundamental interest in ensuring that all Commonwealth residents have access to safe, stable housing they can afford, in a place they want to live. To succeed as a state, we need to expand the stock of available housing, particularly multifamily, subsidized, and specialized housing; preserve the affordable housing we currently have; and ensure that people are not unlawfully excluded from living in our communities. The Housing Affordability Unit uses the authority of the Attorney General's Office to pursue these goals. The Unit is embedded in the Executive Bureau and collaborates with various divisions of the Office-including relevant divisions of the Public Protection and Advocacy and Government Bureaus-to share expertise and resources on zoning, land use, municipal law, fair housing, consumer protection, and other housing affordability initiatives. The Unit also works closely with state and local partners, and with members of the public, to promote the production of new housing, the preservation of existing units and affordability restrictions, and the protection of the legal rights of tenants, homeowners, and those looking for a place to live. Its work includes litigation and other forms of advocacy to enforce the Commonwealth's housing laws; public education and engagement to promote compliance with state law and supportive creative public- and private-sector solutions; and strategic planning for impact across the work of the Office. Primary Duties: The Director will be responsible for overseeing the Housing Affordability Unit's ongoing projects and devising strategies for future impact, including(1) leading or participating in enforcement actions, intervention on behalf of the Commonwealth, or/amicus/briefing to express the pro-housing position of theCommonwealth; (2)developing legalguidance and educational programming for a variety of audiences, from municipal officials to advocacy groups to members of the general public, to promote compliance with state laws that promote housing production, preservation, and access; (3) assisting various components of theOffice in their respective consideration and handling of housing and land-use-related matters; and (4) developing strong relationships with diverse actors across the private, public, and nonprofit housing sectors to inform and strengthen the Unit's work. Because the Unit is relatively new and the housing affordability problem is complex, the work of the Unit is evolving, and the Director will play a crucial role in the development of its strategies and priorities.
