Under Mayor Michelle Wu's leadership, Boston has made historic progress toward creating and preserving homes that residents can afford. Since the start of her first term, the City has produced or begun construction on more than 18,000 new homes, including thousands of income-restricted units. The City has also launched new policies to make it easier, faster, and less expensive to build housing across every neighborhood.

Mayor Wu's focus on climate and health has also made Boston a national leader in green and energy-efficient housing. Through innovative programs like the Housing Accelerator Fund, Welcome Home Boston, and the Housing with Public Assets initiative, the City is finding new ways to create housing on public land, convert vacant buildings into homes, and support residents in building wealth and stability.

In conclusion, this partnership between MOH and CLT at 570 Warren Street is a testament to their shared commitment towards providing affordable housing for all residents in need. With their continued efforts and innovative programs, Boston is well on its way towards becoming a city where every resident can have a safe, stable, and affordable home for generations to come.
