Why can we easily find market-rate rentals through Zillow or Trulia but for affordable units, some families have to visit up to 24 different offices in-person? The Housing Navigator Massachusetts team is changing that.

Housing Navigator MA was a 2023 Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability Finalist in Public Policy and Regulatory Reform.
