Over four dozen owners and operators of affordable housing units announced a joint pledge this morning to work with their tenants in financial trouble due to the COVID-19 recession and avoid evicting them over missed rent payments.
The 53 community development corporations, nonprofit developers and for-profit developers and property managers represent 57,654 units across the state. Additional owners and operators are being encouraged to sign the pledge by its organizers, the Baker administration, MassHousing, CHAPA and the Massachusetts Association of Community Development Organizations.
