Happy House Bond Bill Day to everyone!
Today is the day! The House of Representatives is scheduled to convene today at 11, with debate and roll call votes on the Ways and Means Committee’s draft of the Housing Bond Bill to begin at 1. As a final reminder, all are invited to join us at 12:30 in front of the State House on Beacon Street across from Boston Common at 12:30 for collective advocacy on the legislation.
Even if you are not able to make it in person today, please take a minute to contact your state representative and urge them to support CHAPA’s priority amendments, which will strengthen the bill and better position Massachusetts to address our housing needs. Additionally, please ask them to protect our existing housing laws and to oppose any attempts to weaken, delay, or undermine the MBTA Communities Act or Chapter 40B.
Very exciting day on tap for today with lots of opportunities to get something great done!
