Are you tired of seeing “affordable” housing you can’t afford? Are you mad at seeing new development push people out?
We need a truly affordable Boston!
The Coalition for a Truly Affordable Boston (CTAB) is supported by housing justice organizations striving for a truly affordable Boston. Since 2018, CTAB has convened to organize and advocate for a stronger policy that best helps Bostonians. The system that Boston follows now is insufficient for those most vulnerable. See here to learn more about true affordability.

What is Inclusionary Zoning?
Inclusionary zoning is a policy that requires new housing developments to include a certain percentage of affordable units. It’s designed to ensure that as new buildings go up, some of the homes are within reach for low- and moderate-income residents, helping to keep Boston’s neighborhoods diverse and accessible for everyone.
What we do now
We monitor the application of Boston’s Inclusionary Development Policy (IDP) to ensure developments meet affordability standards, engaging with residents and pushing for a fair and transparent process. We continue to advocate for equitable treatment by working closely with City Councilors to improve housing policies and ensure they serve those most in need. Strengthening our coalition is key to our success, and we’re always looking for partners committed to housing justice. Reach out to get involved!
