What happened

Why it matters
The grants provide local leaders with resources and flexibility to create more year-round housing opportunities. This initiative is designed to support the long-term success of communities that are struggling against the effects of tourism on their limited housing stock.
The Healey-Driscoll Administration has recently announced various grants within Massachusetts.
