Policy Forum
This presentation will be focused on housing policy, with particular emphasis on the housing provider perspective. This recorded event is a condensed version of what used to be the half-day on-site held at the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center, near the geographic center of Massachusetts.
We will start with a condensed recent history of housing policy in Massachusetts, as seen from a housing provider's perspective.
We will start only in January 2020 and review the changing emphasis of the pandemic, including policy successes and failures that have occurred since:
- Certification
- Jail time for landlords
- Multiple layers of eviction moratorium
- CARES Act
- Rent cancellation
- HEROES Act
- Infinite moratorium
- Eviction diversion initiative
- RAFT moratorium
- Ranked choice voting
- Right of first refusal and eviction sealing
This presentation will also address what may lie over the horizon, what housing providers need to do to prepare, and where we go from here. Please note: this is not a detailed how-to comply with the various laws, this is a policy presentation.
- Policy priorities survey
- Ballot initiatives
- Start of the 192nd legislative session
- Grassroots engagement
- Executive branch
- Judicial branch
Attendees of the January 4 SWCLA members event note: the history section will be substantially the same presentation. Note that we will not be discussing litigation strategy.
