Advocates and Policymakers

For over 50 years, CHAPA has been at the forefront of housing policy in Massachusetts.

We bring stakeholders together from across the industry — lenders, developers, municipalities, community groups, tenants, and more — to build consensus around equitable solutions to our Commonwealth’s affordable housing challenges. We empower advocates and policymakers with the tools and support they need to create change in the lives of Massachusetts residents.
