General Information
The Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is the Commonwealth’s housing and community development agency. As an all-voucher MTW program, DHCD serves more than 20,000 households across the state, and provides supportive services and other housing supports to more than 900 additional families through local non-traditional programming. DHCD administers the program through a network of regional housing agencies.
An MTW agency since 1998, DHCD uses its participation in MTW to develop and implement program changes that respond to local and state-wide housing challenges and opportunities.
Using all three MTW strategic goals DHCD has created a program that incorporates administrative efficiencies to streamline process, improve customer service and create savings, bolsters low-income households’ ability to increase their economic self-sufficiency and stability, and supports housing choice through a state-wide housing mobility program.
Currently DHCD manages approximately 22,700 Housing Choice Voucher units and 110 units of local, non-traditional housing.

As a result of Congress passing the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016, DHCD’s MTW Agreement was modified and extended to the end of its Fiscal Year 2028.
