Product Description

Developing affordable housing in Massachusetts involves navigating a maze of regulatory and procedural hurdles, and requires a firm understanding of applicable state and local law requirements.

This introductory hour provides you with a basic overview of the legal tools available to affordable housing developers—and helps you better advise your developer clients regarding the best options to consider before undertaking a project.

Hear a basic summary and review geared toward attorneys who do not regularly represent clients in affordable housing development, including a more detailed focus on Chapter 40B, the Comprehensive Permit Statute. Get a roadmap to the maze.
