Massachusetts H 177 (and accompanying bill S 1627) originally introduced in January had hearings in October.
The bill “would form a commission to study strategies for improving the quality of housing stock in weak markets, task the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development with developing a “capacity building program” to help cities and towns with neighborhood stabilization and housing improvement efforts, and create a “spot blight rehabilitation program” focused on abandoned and vacant residential properties.”
